serialization from file failed in another assembly

Hello,

I want to deserialize a file that was serialized in another solution (assembly). I copied all the classes that was serialized, and put them in my project, thinking this would be enough. However I get this message when trying to deserialize the file:

System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Cannot
find the assembly 96wellShuttleSW, Version=1.0.2382.20980, Culture=neutral, Pub
licKeyToken=null.
at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryAssemblyInfo.GetAssem
bly()

Now, the 96wellShuttleSW is the assembly that created the file. What does it have to do with this, I thought everything needed (that is the class instances) were serialized in the binary object Is there any way around this

Thanks a lot Sowmy, that was what I was looking for.

You need to have a reference to that assembly, not to copy the source files in your project.

Ok, but the assembly is not in the form of a dll file or COM object. Is it impossible to deserialize from a completely different application without any reference

You can use SerializationBinder to bind the classes you copied. You can find more info about serialization binder at

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.serializationbinder.aspx

I hope this helps

Actually you only need the reference if you use the types from that assembly. But the assembly has to be present at runtime in the app path so the CLR can find it. I suppose that assembly is an exe. Maybe you could reuse an assembly as an exe, but this is downright silly.
