How to Serialize and DeSerialize?

[Simon Says]

Dear all,

I'm new to the .Net CF and am facing some problem sending objects via TCP
socket. Can anyone please advise how I can convert an object to bytes() so
that I can send over TCP socket?

Thanks.

You need to write your own serialization routine using BinaryWriter and
BinaryReader classes

Can you kindly provide some sample or could you point me to any links for
reference.

Please, take a look at my sample here

The ColorStroke class demonstrates how to make a class (or struct)
self-serializable.
This sample is part of an article on serialization in CF which I can't find
time to finish

Simon,

Optionally... you can do a great deal with System.Convert... (namespace).
Writing your own routines is really unnecessary with the wealth of
information / source available.
