protected:
 System::ComponentModel::Design::Serialization::CodeDomSerializer ^ GetSerializer(System::ComponentModel::Design::Serialization::IDesignerSerializationManager ^ manager, System::Object ^ value);
protected System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializer GetSerializer (System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager manager, object value);
protected System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializer? GetSerializer (System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager manager, object? value);
member this.GetSerializer : System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager * obj -> System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializer
Protected Function GetSerializer (manager As IDesignerSerializationManager, value As Object) As CodeDomSerializer

Parameters

manager
IDesignerSerializationManager

The IDesignerSerializationManager to use for serialization.

value
Object

The object specifying the serializer to retrieve.

Returns

CodeDomSerializer

A CodeDomSerializer that is appropriate for value.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

manager or value is null.

Remarks

The GetSerializer method is an extension to the IDesignerSerializationManager.GetSerializer method. The IDesignerSerializationManager.GetSerializer method takes an object type, rather than an object value. If an external party had overridden metadata for a specific object through TypeDescriptor, that metadata override would not be seen by the IDesignerSerializationManager.GetSerializer method, which only takes a type. The GetSerializer method checks the metadata of the value and the value's type. If the two differ, GetSerializer will look to see if there is a custom designer serializer attribute on the value. If so, GetSerializer will attempt to use it. Otherwise, it will defer to IDesignerSerializationManager.GetSerializer.
