SerializationInfo Class
- Reference
Definition
Stores all the data needed to serialize or deserialize an object. This class cannot be inherited.

Attributes
Remarks
This class is used by objects with custom serialization behavior. The GetObjectData method on either ISerializable or ISerializationSurrogate populates the SerializationInfo store with the name, type, and value of each piece of information it wants to serialize. During deserialization, the appropriate function can extract this information.
Objects are added to the SerializationInfo store at serialization time using the AddValue methods and extracted from the SerializationInfo store at deserialization using the GetValue methods.
For more information about customizing serialization, see Custom Serialization.

Properties
| AssemblyName | Gets or sets the assembly name of the type to serialize during serialization only. |
|---|---|
| FullTypeName | Gets or sets the full name of the Type to serialize. |
| IsAssemblyNameSetExplicit | Gets whether the assembly name has been explicitly set. |
| IsFullTypeNameSetExplicit | Gets whether the full type name has been explicitly set. |
| MemberCount | Gets the number of members that have been added to the SerializationInfo store. |
| ObjectType | Returns the type of the object to be serialized. |
