如何：对对象进行序列化和反序列化（实体框架）
由 实体数据模型 (EDM) 生成器工具 (EdmGen.exe) 和 Entity Data Model 向导生成的实体类型支持二进制序列化。当将对象序列化为二进制流时，也将对当前加载到对象上下文中的所有相关对象进行序列化。有关更多信息，请参见序列化对象（实体框架）。
本主题中的示例基于 Adventure Works 销售模型。若要运行本示例中的代码，必须已将 AdventureWorks 销售模型添加到您的项目中，并将项目配置为使用 Entity Framework。为此，请完成如何：手动配置实体框架项目和如何：手动定义实体数据模型（实体框架） 中的过程。必须针对以下命名控件添加 using 语句（在 Visual Basic 中为 Imports）：
示例
在本例中，SerializeToBinaryStream 方法查询 Contact 对象以获得指定的姓氏值，并返回二进制 MemoryStream。MemoryStream 包含 Contact 对象及其相关的 SalesOrderHeader 和 SalesOrderDetail 对象的对象图。
Public Shared Sub ReadFromBinaryStream()
Dim formatter As New BinaryFormatter
Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
Try
' Get the object graph for the selected customer
' as a binary stream.
Dim stream As MemoryStream = SerializeToBinaryStream("Adams")
' Read from the begining of the stream.
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)
' Deserialize the customer graph from the binary stream
' and attach to an ObjectContext.
Dim contact As Contact = CType(formatter.Deserialize(stream), Contact)
context.Attach(contact)
' Display information for each item
' in the orders that belong to the contact.
For Each order As SalesOrderHeader In contact.SalesOrderHeader
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("PO Number: {0}", _
order.PurchaseOrderNumber))
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Order Date: {0}", _
order.OrderDate.ToString()))
Console.WriteLine("Order items:")
For Each item As SalesOrderDetail In order.SalesOrderDetail
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Product:{0}" _
+ "Quantity: {1}", item.ProductID.ToString(), _
item.OrderQty.ToString()))
Next
