IExtensibleDataObject Interface

Definition

Provides a data structure to store extra data encountered by the XmlObjectSerializer during deserialization of a type marked with the DataContractAttribute attribute.

public interface class IExtensibleDataObject
public interface IExtensibleDataObject
type IExtensibleDataObject = interface
Public Interface IExtensibleDataObject
Derived

Examples

The following code shows an instance of a type (PersonVersion2) that is the second version of a serializable type (Person). The second version contains extra data (ID field) that is not present in the first version.

// Implement the IExtensibleDataObject interface
// to store the extra data for future versions.
[DataContract(
    Name = "Person",
    Namespace = "http://www.cohowinery.com/employees")]
class Person : IExtensibleDataObject
{
    // To implement the IExtensibleDataObject interface,
    // you must implement the ExtensionData property. The property
    // holds data from future versions of the class for backward
    // compatibility.
    private ExtensionDataObject extensionDataObject_value;
    public ExtensionDataObject ExtensionData
    {
        get
        {
            return extensionDataObject_value;
        }
        set
        {
            extensionDataObject_value = value;
        }
    }
    [DataMember]
    public string Name;
}

// The second version of the class adds a new field. The field's
// data is stored in the ExtensionDataObject field of
// the first version (Person). You must also set the Name property
// of the DataContractAttribute to match the first version.
// If necessary, also set the Namespace property so that the
// name of the contracts is the same.
[DataContract(Name = "Person",
    Namespace = "http://www.cohowinery.com/employees")]
class PersonVersion2 : IExtensibleDataObject
{
    // Best practice: add an Order number to new members.
    [DataMember(Order=2)]
    public int ID;

    [DataMember]
    public string Name;

    private ExtensionDataObject extensionDataObject_value;

        }
