Serializing and Deserializing an Object as Binary Data Using Binary Formatter ASP.NET C#

In this article, we are going to see how to serialize and deserialize an object as binary data using the binary formatter.

Step 1: Used Namespace

Step 3: Serializing the Object using Binary Formatter

Step 4: Deserializing the Object using Binary Formatter

1. //Deserializing the List
2. public void Deserialize(String filename)
3. {
4. //Format the object as Binary
5. BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
7. //Reading the file from the server
8. FileStream fs = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open);
10. object obj = formatter.Deserialize(fs);
11. Employees emps = (Employees)obj;
12. fs.Flush();
13. fs.Close();
14. fs.Dispose();
15. foreach (Employee employee in emps)
16. {
17. Response.Write(employee.Name + "<br/>");
18. }
19. }
