System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization Namespace

Provides types that support customization and control of serialization at design time.

Classes

BasicDesignerLoader

Provides an implementation of the IDesignerLoaderService interface.

CodeDomComponentSerializationService

Serializes a set of components into a serialization store.

CodeDomDesignerLoader

Provides the base class for implementing a CodeDOM-based designer loader.

CodeDomLocalizationProvider

Provides CodeDOM resource serialization services. This class cannot be inherited.

CodeDomSerializer

Serializes an object graph to a series of CodeDOM statements. This class provides an abstract base class for a serializer.

CodeDomSerializerBase

Provides a base class for CodeDomSerializer classes.

CodeDomSerializerException

The exception that is thrown when line number information is available for a serialization error.

CollectionCodeDomSerializer

Serializes collections.

ComponentSerializationService

Provides the base class for serializing a set of components or serializable objects into a serialization store.

ContextStack

Provides a stack object that can be used by a serializer to make information available to nested serializers.

DefaultSerializationProviderAttribute

The DefaultSerializationProviderAttribute attribute is placed on a serializer to indicate the class to use as a default provider of that type of serializer.

DesignerLoader

Provides a basic designer loader interface that can be used to implement a custom designer loader.

DesignerSerializationManager

Provides an implementation of the IDesignerSerializationManager interface.

DesignerSerializerAttribute

Indicates a serializer for the serialization manager to use to serialize the values of the type this attribute is applied to. This class cannot be inherited.

ExpressionContext

Provides a means of passing context state among serializers. This class cannot be inherited.

InstanceDescriptor

Provides the information necessary to create an instance of an object. This class cannot be inherited.

MemberCodeDomSerializer

Provides the base class for serializing a reflection primitive within the object graph.

MemberRelationshipService

Provides the base class for relating one member to another.

ObjectStatementCollection

Holds a table of statements that is offered by the StatementContext. This class cannot be inherited.

ResolveNameEventArgs

Provides data for the ResolveName event.

RootContext

A CodeDomSerializer adds a root context to provide a definition of the root object. This class cannot be inherited.

RootDesignerSerializerAttribute

Indicates the base serializer to use for a root designer object. This class cannot be inherited.

SerializationStore

Provides the base class for storing serialization data for the ComponentSerializationService.

SerializeAbsoluteContext

Specifies that serializers should handle default values. This class cannot be inherited.

StatementContext

Provides a location into which statements can be serialized. This class cannot be inherited.

TypeCodeDomSerializer

Serializes an object to a new type.

Structs

MemberRelationship

Represents a single relationship between an object and a member.

Interfaces

ICodeDomDesignerReload

Provides an interface that can be used to optimize the reloading of a designer.

IDesignerLoaderHost

Provides an interface that can extend a designer host to support loading from a serialized state.

IDesignerLoaderHost2

Provides an interface that extends IDesignerLoaderHost to specify whether errors are tolerated while loading a design document.

IDesignerLoaderService

Provides an interface that can extend a designer loader to support asynchronous loading of external components.

IDesignerSerializationManager

Provides an interface that can manage design-time serialization.

IDesignerSerializationProvider

Provides an interface that enables access to a serializer.

IDesignerSerializationService

Provides an interface that can invoke serialization and deserialization.

INameCreationService

Provides a service that can generate unique names for objects.

Enums

BasicDesignerLoader.ReloadOptions

Defines the behavior of the Reload(BasicDesignerLoader+ReloadOptions) method. These flags can be combined using the bitwise OR operator.

CodeDomLocalizationModel

Determines the localization model to be used by the CodeDom resource adapter.

Delegates

ResolveNameEventHandler

Represents the method that handles the ResolveName event of a serialization manager.

Remarks

The classes in this namespace can be divided into the following categories:
