PrintDocument and serialization

[Max]

Hi

I want to serialize a PrintDocument because I want to send it to a Client
with Remoting.
How can I serialize a PrintDocument which is not serializable and its
members are unknnown

 

[Hermit Dave]

the object you wish to serialize should be marked serializable or should
implement ISerializable interface
more on that at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...cpguide/html/cpconserializationguidelines.asp

The PrintDocument class contains a method called CreateObjRef which is used
to create a proxy for communication with a remote object

I don't think that would be a good idea. Isn't a PrintDocument object
printer dependant? Also, it would be very large. I think it would be better
to send a class that has enough data to render the PrintDocument.
