How to use generated assembly?

How to use generated assembly?

  Hi Rodrigo,

  Thank you very much for the response.

  // Create an instance of the XmlSerializer specifying type.
  class1Serializer serializer = new class1Serializer (typeof(class1));

  generates an error "No overload for method 'class1Serializer' takes '1' arguments"

  the constructor present in the generated assembly is not accepting the argument (typeof(class1))

  if I try class1Serializer serializer = new class1Serializer ();

  class1 c1 = (class1) serializer.Deserialize(reader);

  generates an error “unable to cast object of type class1 to type class1”

  I have around 150 types in my generated assembly I am trying to create a generic deserializer method which will deserialize the types passed to it. I am trying to do this to increase the performance by avoiding creating serializer object in the runtime like this

  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(class1));

  class1 c1 = (Class1)serializer.Deserialize(reader)

  for more than 150 classes. During runtime I will deserialize the necessary types.

  I got stuck while deserialization Will this approach work

  I want it for manual [design time serialization]. I have around 150 classes to be serialized. I created a dll of these types and used sgen to create another dll with serialized types [readers/writers]. Now I want to deserialize them.

  Example

  If give test.dll as input to sgen I will get test.XmlSerializers.dll I need to use this dll in my project and deserialize.

  I have class1 and after sgen I get class1Serializer in the generated assembly.

  How do I deserialize

  you want this for manual deserialization/serialization or for use it with web service proxies

  I tried this:

  CiudadSerializer cs = new CiudadSerializer();

  Ciudad city2 = (Ciudad)cs.Deserialize(new FileStream(@"C:\Temp\city.xml", FileMode.Open));

  And it works fine for me..... are you sure this doesn't work in your code

  I used sgen exe to generate the dll now i want to de- serialize using the types present in the generated assembly. Any suggestion in this regard is welcomed.Thanks

  Well, sgen generates an optimized XmlSerializer derived class for each of your types.

  To use it, just add a reference in your project to test.XmlSerializers.dll and then use the class1Serializer in the same way you used XmlSerializer class:

  private void DeserializeObject(string filename)
  {
  Console.WriteLine("Reading with TextReader");
  
  // Create an instance of the XmlSerializer specifying type.
  class1Serializer serializer =
  new class1Serializer (typeof(OrderedItem));
  
  // Create a TextReader to read the file.
  FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
  TextReader reader = new StreamReader(fs);
  
  // Declare an object variable of the type to be deserialized.
  OrderedItem i;
  
  // Use the Deserialize method to restore the object's state.
  i = (OrderedItem) serializer.Deserialize(reader);
  
  // Write out the properties of the object.
  Console.Write(
  i.ItemName + "\t" +
  i.Description + "\t" +
  i.UnitPrice + "\t" +
  i.Quantity + "\t" +
  i.LineTotal);
  }

  hi

  can any one guide me on how to de-serialize sgen generated assembly

  thank you

  hi

  It generates an error “unable to cast object of type class1 to type class1” - InvalidCastException.

  any idea how to over come this
