C# in a Nutshell

Name

ISerializationSurrogate

Synopsis

Objects that implement this interface can be delegated to perform the serialization and deserialization of another object by providing customized methods for GetObjectData() and SetObjectData(). GetObjectData() gets the member information to create a SerializationInfo instance, while SetObjectData() uses information from a SerializationInfo instance to recreate an object.

public interface ISerializationSurrogate {
// Public Instance Methods
   public method void GetObjectData(object obj, 
        SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context);  
   public method object SetObjectData(object obj, 
        SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context, 
        ISurrogateSelector selector);  
}
