HOW TO：序列化和還原序列化物件 (Entity Framework)
實體資料模型 (EDM) 產生器工具 (EdmGen.exe) 和 Entity Data Model 精靈所產生的實體 (Entity) 類型都支援二進位序列化 (Serialization)。 當您將某個物件序列化成二進位資料流時，就會一併序列化目前載入物件內容中的所有相關物件。 如需詳細資訊，請參閱序列化物件 (Entity Framework)。
本主題的範例是根據 Adventure Works Sales Model。 若要執行此範例中的程式碼，您必須已經將 AdventureWorks Sales Model 加入到專案中，並設定您的專案使用 Entity Framework。 若要這樣做，請完成 HOW TO：手動設定 Entity Framework 專案和 HOW TO：手動定義模型和對應檔 (Entity Framework) 中的程序。 您也必須加入下列命名空間 (Namespace) 的 using 陳述式 (Visual Basic 中的 Imports)：
範例
在這個範例中，SerializeToBinaryStream 方法會查詢 Contact 物件是否有指定的姓氏值，然後傳回二進位 MemoryStream。 MemoryStream 包含 Contact 物件及其相關 SalesOrderHeader 和 SalesOrderDetail 物件的物件圖形。
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 = DirectCast(formatter.Deserialize(stream), Contact)
context.Attach(contact)
' Display information for each item
' in the orders that belong to the first contact.
For Each order As SalesOrderHeader In contact.SalesOrderHeaders
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.SalesOrderDetails
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Product: {0}, Quantity: {1}", _
item.ProductID.ToString(), item.OrderQty.ToString()))
