You could do something like below.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyStruct ms = new MyStruct(30, "wjs");
byte[] buf = ms.ToBytes();
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToBase64String(buf));
MyStruct ms2 = MyStruct.FromBytes(buf);
Console.WriteLine(ms2.ToString());
}
-- MyStruct.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
using System.IO;
namespace HIXSales
{
[Serializable]
public class MyStruct
{
public int Age;
public string Name;
public MyStruct(int age, string name)
{
this.Age = age;
this.Name = name;
}
public byte[] ToBytes()
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
bf.Serialize(ms, this);
return ms.ToArray();
}
}
public static MyStruct FromBytes(byte[] bytes)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bytes, false))
{
BinaryFormatter br = new BinaryFormatter();
MyStruct newStruct = (MyStruct)br.Deserialize(ms);
return newStruct;
}
}
public override string ToString()
{
return string.Format("Name:{0} Age:{1}", this.Name, this.Age);
}
}
}

| Peter,
|
| Thanks for the tip.
| this is the link i got from googling.
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...formattersbinarybinaryformatterclasstopic.asp
|
| I do see they have a sample which shows serialize HashTable to file and
| deSerialize.
|
| Do I use the same way to Serialize Struct. Is it possible for you to paste
a
| code snippet.
|
| Thanks.
