Re: Abstract, Interface, and Attribute Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 5:53 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 5:53  No, you still have to implement ISerializable if you wish. Just attributing the class as I mentioned before with SerializableAttribute serializes all private and public fields. Implementing ISerializable is required if you want to control what gets serialized. See the ISerializable documentation for both more detail and an example.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Abstract, Interface, and Attribute Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 6:12 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 6:12  If you'll read the documentation for SerializableAttribute, you'll see that the serialization infrastructure serializes private and public fields by default if a class is attributed (the class itself - inheriting the attribute doesn't make a derivative class serializable). This is done via reflection, yes. Note that your class must be attributed with the SerializableAttribute even if it implements ISerializable to be serializable. Implementing the interface just gives you explicit control over serialization of your Type.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

If not it uses reflection to serialize all the fields, checking for the NonSerialized as it goes. is that what happens? and if this is, how is that done efficiently enough to not take forever to serialize each two-bit-- i mean two-byte-- object in the graph? does BinaryFormatter perform some sort of run time analysis or "compilation" like regex? ________________________________________ Gosh, it would be awful pleas'n, to reason out the reason, for things I can't explain.

Re: Abstract, Interface, and Attribute Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 7:13 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 7:13  You should read Serializing Objects[^] in the .NET Framework. I think it'll help understand many of these concepts. As far as performance, it is true that reflecting all those fields and Types takes a while but it is necessary when crossing contexts (via Remoting) or serialing to streams for any other means. The process of serialization is actually pretty complex. If you're interested in the details, you should use ildasm.exe (if you know IL) or a good decompiler like .NET Reflector[^] to see how much of that is done. Our application I designed uses A LOT of Remoting in the Internet-deployed edition and it functions pretty fast - not much slower than the LAN version (and most people don't even notice). As far as I can tell, nothing is cached from serialization to serialization either because everything changes from call to call.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

You can never know too much. Besides, decompilers don't always do such a great job so you'll have to look at IL at some point to see what's really going on. At least knowing what the instructions do is important, which is also documented in the .NET Framework SDK.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Abstract, Interface, and Attribute Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 12:11 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 12:11  All compilers targeting the CLR using pure managed code produce Intermediate Language, or IL. So yes, it is IL. In fact, the Managed C++ compiler is the only compiler publicly available from Microsoft that can produce native code in an assembly (known as mixed mode). But using an loop for serialization would be a poor idea. Recursion is most likely at work since for every Type that is added to the SerializationInfo, it has to be serialized, and then their Types, and so on so forth.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

This way a remoting object (for example) knows that it does not need any special instructions to serialize/deserialize.

But.... I needed the code in C# for decoding Quoted-Printable text. Re: Quoted-Printable Decoder Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 3:57 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 3:57  Right, and there doesn't appear to be any examples you can use. There is one commercial ASP.NET emailing package that uses it but they didn't give any details. Hence the RFC link - it isn't hard to do, so you should be able to figure it out. Mostly, it's just replacing certain characters with their hexidecimal equivalents prefixed by an equal sign. Use a StringBuilder for optimal performance. Replace the characters as necessary and break the lines into 76 character sequences taking into account whether tabs or spaces must follow on the next line. There was only one example in C# I could find, and if my German is any good, it seems to have problems in a couple cases.

It is tightly coupled, therefore not usable outside the context of ASP.NET. You might consider designing your SAO to be a little more abstract and leave the details of what is required (say, a response Stream) to the host.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: How can I get some objects like HttpContext when using SingleCall SAOS and does not host in IIS (with HttpChannel) Heath Stewart7-Jan-04 19:03 Heath Stewart 7-Jan-04 19:03  Define "client ID". We use a lot of remoting in our application and deal with lots of stuff like that. I just need to understand your circumstances. Is it unique to a machine (perhaps an IP address)? A user identity? A client application version or client name (like a user agent for browsers)?   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: How can I get some objects like HttpContext when using SingleCall SAOS and does not host in IIS (with HttpChannel) Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 3:44 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 3:44  Well, there's always the CallContext, which you said you didn't want to use but this is a good purpose for it. What's wrong with it? It's just another part of the remoting infrastructure. Both creating your own RealProxy and adding a channel sink could possibly do this, but it's a lot more work and not easily accessible to the SAO itself, since creating your own proxy is more for modifying the params, returns, etc. of a message, and channel sinks are for manipulating the message typically without modifying the content (like compression, encryption, routing, etc.).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

I don't want to use CallContext only because it will transmit all CallContext object content in both call and return, and it will use some network bandwidth. Re: How can I get some objects like HttpContext when using SingleCall SAOS and does not host in IIS (with HttpChannel) Heath Stewart8-Jan-04 16:44 Heath Stewart 8-Jan-04 16:44  The other methods I mentioned will be much harder to use. Frankly, the serialized ILogicalThreadAffinative implementation doesn't have to take much room if you just encapsulate basic Types like a String or a Guid. The channel sinks could take even more bandwidth than a CallContext if you're not mindful of the implementation. Besides, setting and getting objects from a CallContext is a heck of a lot easier than dealing with channel sinks. Once you read about them (again, that ".NET Remoting" book is good and gets in to that), I'm sure you'll agree! Oh, and if you use CallContext.FreeNamedDataSlot in the server method with the name you used in the CallContext.SetData call on the client, there shouldn't be anything serialized and sent back in the return message. This could save you bandwidth easily.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
