very strange serializtion exception

[semedao]

Hi All,
I had working code that made custom serialization on objects that inherit from queue
in the inherited queue I create my own GetObjectData:
public void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext ctxt)

{

lock (this.SyncRoot)

{

IEnumerator Ienum = this.GetEnumerator();

int i = 0;

MyObj _Obj = null;

while (Ienum.MoveNext())

{

i++;

_Obj = (MyObj)Ienum.Current;

info.AddValue("MyObj_" + i.ToString(), Ienum.Current);

}

info.AddValue("Count", i);

info.AddValue("StoreFileName", StoreFileName);

}

}



this code work correctly

after move couple of methods from internal class to the parent class ( I don't speak about the classes that make the serialization , only about the class that call the code that Will cause the serialization in my inherited queue objects )

I start to receive :

Fail: Type 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket' in Assembly 'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as serializable.

I don't have any Socket objects not in the my queue class nor in the inside object !

also when debugging step by step the Exception thrown without any control not in specific line!

any suggestions ?

thanks

Considerig it says

"is not marked as serializable"

You have probably added some dependancy to a class that is not marked as Serializable. Just a thought.

Set the debugger to break on any thrown CLR exception. Then go up the
stack to

System.Runtime.Serialization.FormatterServices.GetSerializableMembers(Type
type, StreamingContext context)

and check the locals for "type" to find out what class holds a Socket.
Walk down the stack as necessary, and you'll be able to find out which
of your objects is the culprit.

Hi Semedao,

Based on my understanding, you meet the SerializationException for
'System.Net.Sockets.Socket' class, however, you can not identify which
object in your serialization Queue object referenced to the Socket class.
If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to tell me, thanks.

Martin has provided the correct approach for troubleshooting the root
cause. Below is some additionally information:

As we can see from the stack, the final managed method that caused the
exception is
System.Runtime.Serialization.FormatterServices.InternalGetSerializableMember
s method. So I lauched the Reflector tool to view the source code of this
method in .Net2.0 FCL. I find that it is the code snippet below that throws
the SerializationException:

private static MemberInfo[] InternalGetSerializableMembers(RuntimeType type)
{
.......
RuntimeType type1 = (RuntimeType) type.BaseType;
......
Type[] typeArray1 = null;
int num1 = 0;
bool flag1 = FormatterServices.GetParentTypes(type1, out
typeArray1, out num1);
if (num1 <= 0)
{
return infoArray1;
}
list1 = new ArrayList();
for (int num2 = 0; num2 < num1; num2++)
{
type1 = (RuntimeType) typeArray1[num2];
if (!FormatterServices.CheckSerializable(type1))
{
throw new
SerializationException(string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
Environment.GetResourceString("Serialization_NonSerType"), new object[] {
type1.FullName, type1.Module.Assembly.FullName }));
}
.....
}

Yes, this code snippet logic retrieves the passed in "type"'s "BaseType"
and gets its parent types to fill the "typeArray1" variable. At last, it
will use FormatterServices.CheckSerializable() method to check each element
in the typeArray1. If any element is not serializable it will throw the
SerializationException.

So you should configure the debugger with the correct symbols server and
uncheck the "Just-My-Code" feature of VS2005, so that you can correct break
on the FormatterServices.InternalGetSerializableMembers() when the
exception is thrown.

1. Symbol Server path.
To set the symbol server path, you should input
"srv*c:\LocalSymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;" in the
Tools | Options | Debugging | Symbols as the directory. This will tell the
VS2005 debugger to lookup symbol from the Microsoft symbol server
"http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols" and cache the downloaded
symbol in "c:\LocalSymbols" folder.

2. Just My Code setting
VS2005 contains a new feature named "Just-My-Code". Defaultly, JMC is
enabled, which means that VS2005 will not load symbol for non-user code. To
debug non-user code, we should disable this feature from Tools | Options |
Debugging, "Enable Just My Code" check box.(the VS2005 IDE maybe need
close&re-open to enable the
setting)
For more information about JMC, please refer to the blog link below:
"How can I debug Just My Code?"

Hope this helps.

[Jeffrey Tan[MSFT]]

Oh, I forget to mention that once the debugger breaks on the
FormatterServices.InternalGetSerializableMembers() method(Use the "Call
Stack" window to verify this), you may open the "Locals" window, it will
report all the local variables with the passed parameters. So you may view
the "type" parameter passed in the InternalGetSerializableMembers() method
to get a clue. If you still can not understand what this type comes from,
you may need to walk down the stack as Martin suggested.

Thanks.
