Deserialization and changed namespace name

[Joe]

We're trying to move our class the does the serialization and
deserialization to a separate class library. When deserializing the class
the binaryformatter complains about unable to resolve type. I also tried
leaving the namespace the same as before just moving the class to a
different library but I get the same error.

Is there a way I can convert the type?

Joe,

Take a look at the BindToType method on the SerializationBinder instance
returned to you from the Binder property on the IFormatter implementation.
It should allow you to indicate that one type should be substituted for
another.

Also, you can create your own serialization surrogate which will allow
you to do intercept the serialization calls, and perform whatever you need
to do.

Hope this helps.

The Binder worked out perfect.

Thanks!
