Remarks

Note

This material discusses types and namespaces that are obsolete. For more information, see Deprecated Types in Windows Workflow Foundation 4.5.

WorkflowMarkupSerializer provides methods that serialize workflow and Activity classes into XAML format and deserialize XAML content into workflow and activity class objects. These services are primarily used by workflow designers to persist the classes on the workflow design surface.

WorkflowMarkupSerializer is the base class for all markup serializers included in the System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Serialization namespace.

For more information, see Serialization.

WorkflowMarkupSerializer does not support serialization of nested types.

The functionality of WorkflowMarkupSerializer is dependent on functionality of other types outside of Windows Workflow Foundation. Based on the limitations of those other types, not all data types can be serialized through the WorkflowMarkupSerializer. The following is a list is an example of some unsupported types.

Note

This is not an exhaustive and complete list of unsupported types.

Arrays (supported only if property is not decorated with DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content attribute value)

Types without parameterless constructors

Multidimensional Arrays

Generic types (Generic List and Dictionary types supported only if property is decorated with DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content attribute value)

Hashtable

Queue

Stack

XmlDocument

MailMessage

Bitmap

Enumeration Arrays

Enumerations decorated with the FlagsAttribute

In addition to this list, any property decorated with both the ContentPropertyAttribute and the DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute cannot be serialized by WorkflowMarkupSerializer.

Constructors

WorkflowMarkupSerializer()

Initializes a new instance of the WorkflowMarkupSerializer class.

Fields

ClrNamespacesProperty

Represents an attached DependencyProperty that is used to define which assemblies to reference for custom activities.

EventsProperty

Represents an attached DependencyProperty that defines the names for event handler properties.

XClassProperty

Represents an attached DependencyProperty that defines the type name, which will be created during compilation.

XCodeProperty

Represents a code example, embedded into XAML x:Code element.

Methods

AddChild(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object, Object)

Adds a child object to the specified object.

CanSerializeToString(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Returns a Boolean that indicates whether the specified object can be serialized to a string.

ClearChildren(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Removes all child objects from the specified object.

CreateInstance(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Type)

Creates an instance of the specified Type using the specified WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager.

Deserialize(IDesignerSerializationManager, XmlReader)

Deserializes workflow markup into an Object using the specified serialization manager.

Deserialize(XmlReader)

Deserializes workflow markup into an Object.

DeserializeFromString(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Type, String)

Deserializes extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) content from the specified string according to the given type of the property to deserialize.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetChildren(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Retrieves a list of child objects for the specified object.

GetEvents(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Retrieves information about all events associated with the specified Object.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetProperties(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Retrieves information about all properties associated with the specified object.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
OnAfterDeserialize(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Overridden. Notifies the WorkflowMarkupSerializer that an object has just been deserialized.

OnAfterSerialize(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Notifies the WorkflowMarkupSerializer that an object has just been serialized.

OnBeforeDeserialize(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Overridden. Notifies the WorkflowMarkupSerializer that an object is about to be deserialized.

OnBeforeSerialize(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Notifies the WorkflowMarkupSerializer that Serialize(XmlWriter, Object) is about to run.

Serialize(IDesignerSerializationManager, XmlWriter, Object)

Serializes the specified Object into a workflow markup file or stream using the specified serialization manager.

Serialize(XmlWriter, Object)

Serializes the specified Object into a workflow markup file or stream.

SerializeToString(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Serializes the specified Object to a string.

ShouldSerializeValue(WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, Object)

Returns a value that indicates whether the WorkflowMarkupSerializer should serialize the specified Object.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
