Hi All.<br />
<br />
I have a class library which i use as a kind of virtual database so i can store generic info in them,<br />
<br />
something like:<br />
<br />
CDataTableCollection<br />
CDataTable<br />
CDataRow<br />
CDataElement<br />
<br />
the heirarchy is as above also.<br />
<br />
What i'm trying to do is convert the above into a base64string (or xml) so that i can pass the result to a webservice, and when its received, reconvert it back to as it was before the base64 conversion.<br />
<br />
I have been looking into the system.runtime namespace trying to serialise using binaryFormatter and memory stream but i am gettig errors when i try to convert the top object (CDataTableCollection) and all subsequent objects within it.<br />
<br />
Question:<br />
<br />
How do i convert these objects?<br />
Would i need a method in each object to convert each object individually or can i simply conver the top and the rest is done?<br />
<br />
My knowledge of this namespace and serialization in general is quite poor.<br />
<br />
Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated, thanks for your time<br />
<br />

Serialising objects to pass over a webservice

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
