Provides base functionality for the common language runtime serialization formatters.

Represents a base implementation of the System.Runtime.Serialization.IFormatterConverter interface that uses the Convert class and the IConvertible interface.

Provides static methods to aid with the implementation of a System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatter for serialization. This class cannot be inherited.

Indicates that a class is to be notified when deserialization of the entire object graph has been completed. Note that this interface is not called when deserializing with the XmlSerializer (System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer).

Provides functionality for formatting serialized objects.

Provides the connection between an instance of System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo and the formatter-provided class best suited to parse the data inside the System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo.

Indicates that the current interface implementer is a reference to another object.

Enables serialization of custom exception data in security-transparent code.

Allows an object to control its own serialization and deserialization.

Implements a serialization surrogate selector that allows one object to perform serialization and deserialization of another.

Indicates a serialization surrogate selector class.

Generates IDs for objects.

Keeps track of objects as they are deserialized.

When applied to a method, specifies that the method is called immediately after deserialization of an object in an object graph. The order of deserialization relative to other objects in the graph is non-deterministic.

When applied to a method, specifies that the method is called during deserialization of an object in an object graph. The order of deserialization relative to other objects in the graph is non-deterministic.

When applied to a method, specifies that the method is called after serialization of an object in an object graph. The order of serialization relative to other objects in the graph is non-deterministic.

When applied to a method, specifies that the method is during serialization of an object in an object graph. The order of serialization relative to other objects in the graph is non-deterministic.

Specifies that a field can be missing from a serialization stream so that the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter and the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter does not throw an exception.

Provides data for the System.Exception.SerializeObjectState event.

Allows users to control class loading and mandate what class to load.

Holds the value, Type, and name of a serialized object.

The exception thrown when an error occurs during serialization or deserialization.

Stores all the data needed to serialize or deserialize an object. This class cannot be inherited.

Provides a formatter-friendly mechanism for parsing the data in System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo. This class cannot be inherited.

Manages serialization processes at run time. This class cannot be inherited.

Describes the source and destination of a given serialized stream, and provides an additional caller-defined context.

Defines a set of flags that specifies the source or destination context for the stream during serialization.

Assists formatters in selection of the serialization surrogate to delegate the serialization or deserialization process to.
