Conversion form objecttoBytearray C#

using System;

using System.IO;

using System.Threading;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;

namespace TestApplication

{

///

/// data structure

///

[Serializable]

struct Data

{

public Int16 A;

public Int16 B;

public Int16 C;

public Int16 D;

public Int32 E;

};

class Converter

{

public List datas = new List();

public byte[] ObjectToByteArray(Object obj)

{

if (obj == null) return null;

BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())

{

//below function takes few seconds

bf.Serialize(ms, obj);

return ms.ToArray();

}

class MainProgram

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Thread ConvereterThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ConvertThread));

ConvereterThread.Start();

}

static void ConvertThread()

{

Converter converter = new Converter();

Data data;

for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)

{

data.A = 40;

data.B = 41;

data.C = 42;

data.D = 43;

data.E = 44;

converter.datas.Add(data);

}

byte[] arrByte = converter.ObjectToByteArray(converter.datas);

}

In the above program, still i am using objecttobytearray conversion in thread also it will be slow(ie Exe is hang for few seconds)

Hey just see above , I am using the same code for serialization .

You need to serialize, and all properties or fields with in object need to have serializable attribute. Below code will help you.
BinaryFormatterbf=newBinaryFormatter();
using(MemoryStreamms=newMemoryStream())
{
bf.Serialize(ms,obj);
returnms.ToArray();
}
