Remarks

Important

Calling methods from this class with untrusted data is a security risk. Call the methods from this class only with trusted data. For more information, see Validate All Inputs.

The BinaryMessageFormatter is very efficient and can be used to serialize most objects. The result is very compact and fast to parse, but does not allow for loosely coupled messaging as the XmlMessageFormatter does. Loosely coupled means that the client and the server can independently version the type that is sent and received.

When the application sends a message to the queue using an instance of the MessageQueue class, the formatter serializes the object into a stream and inserts it into the message body. When reading from a queue using a MessageQueue, the formatter deserializes the message data into the Body property of a Message.

BinaryMessageFormatter provides faster throughput than the XmlMessageFormatter. Use the BinaryMessageFormatter when pure speed rather than loosely coupled messaging is desired.

Constructors

BinaryMessageFormatter()	Initializes a new instance of the BinaryMessageFormatter class without specifying a type style or top object assembly style.
BinaryMessageFormatter(FormatterAssemblyStyle, FormatterTypeStyle)	Initializes a new instance of the BinaryMessageFormatter class, specifying the formats of the root object and the type descriptions.

Properties

TopObjectFormat	Gets or sets a value that defines how the top (root) object of a graph is deserialized with regards to finding and loading its assembly.
TypeFormat	Gets or sets a value that defines how type descriptions are laid out in the serialized stream.

Methods

CanRead(Message)	Determines whether the formatter can deserialize the contents of the message.
Clone()	Creates an instance of the BinaryMessageFormatter class whose read/write properties (the root object and type description formats) are the same as the current BinaryMessageFormatter.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Read(Message)	Reads the contents from the given message and creates an object that contains the deserialized message.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Write(Message, Object)	Serializes an object into the body of the message.
