Remarks
For successful deserialization, the current position in the stream must be at the beginning of the object graph.

Applies to
Deserialize(Stream, HeaderHandler)
Deserializes the stream into an object graph with any headers in that stream being handled by the given HeaderHandler.
public:
virtual System::Object ^ Deserialize(System::IO::Stream ^ serializationStream, System::Runtime::Remoting::Messaging::HeaderHandler ^ handler);
public object Deserialize (System.IO.Stream serializationStream, System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.HeaderHandler handler);
abstract member Deserialize : System.IO.Stream * System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.HeaderHandler -> obj
override this.Deserialize : System.IO.Stream * System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.HeaderHandler -> obj
Public Function Deserialize (serializationStream As Stream, handler As HeaderHandler) As Object
Parameters
- serializationStream
- Stream
The stream that contains the data to deserialize.
- handler
- HeaderHandler
Delegate to handle any headers found on the stream. Can be null
.
Returns
The top object of the deserialized graph (root).
Implements
Exceptions
serializationStream
is null
.
serializationStream
supports seeking, and its length is 0.
Remarks
Headers are used only for specific remoting applications. The HeaderHandler parameter is one of two ways to return headers from a stream in SOAP Remote Procedure Call (RPC) format. The other way is to use the TopObject property.
For successful deserialization, the current position in the stream must be at the beginning of the object graph.
TimeSpan objects are serialized according to the ISO 8601: 1998 section 5.5.3.2.1 "Alternative" standard.
