How to serialize and object to use as a parameter in a URL?

[Julia]

Hi,

I need to serialize an object in such a way that it can be passed as
parameter in a URL

http://www.domain.com?object=%d793btng....

I did some reading and I came to the conclusion that I need to create a
custom formatter and implements the IFormatter interface

the problem is that I don't quit know how to implements the
IFormatter.Serialize function

1.How do I get the attribute of each property?

2.How can i get all properties,i guess I need to use reflection?

2.How do I track the object which already Serialized(assuming the object
contains other objects)

Note that I cannot use binary formatter or other,since the code which do the
deserialization is a client side java script

thanks in advance.

Why?!?!

Keep the QueryString under 255 characters...

Thanks,i must use the URL since i am passing it using email
I am using Base64 to encode the output.


Thanks.

Additionally, you would have to encode the output to account for
characters that are not allowed.

Personally, I would choose to use the SOAP formatter and then use

a
POST

to post the contents to the server. The output of any object being
serialized is quite lengthy, and not suited for placement in a URL.

Hope this helps.

Hi Julia:

Reflection would allow you to step through the public properties of
any object. The PropertyInfo class in the System.Reflection namespace
is pretty useful for getting the values of all properties:

PropertyInfo[] info = Type.GetType("System.Type").GetProperties();

Then use GetValue on each PropertyInfo to return the value of each
property as an object..
