SurrogateSelector

Synopsis

This class is the basic implementation of the ISurrogateSelector interface. A formatter uses this class to find the appropriate surrogate object to serialize or deserialize an object of a specific type, assembly, or context.

public class SurrogateSelector : ISurrogateSelector {
// Public Constructors
   public method SurrogateSelector();  
// Public Instance Methods
   public virtual method void AddSurrogate(Type type, 
        StreamingContext context, 
        ISerializationSurrogate surrogate);  
   public virtual method void ChainSelector(                    // implements ISurrogateSelector
        ISurrogateSelector selector);  
   public virtual method ISurrogateSelector GetNextSelector();  // implements ISurrogateSelector  
   public virtual method ISerializationSurrogate GetSurrogate(  // implements ISurrogateSelector
        Type type, StreamingContext context, 
        out ISurrogateSelector selector);  
   public virtual method void RemoveSurrogate(Type type, 
        StreamingContext context);
