The Deserialize method deserializes a previously serialized code type declaration. The following table shows the tasks default implementation performs.

Task

Description

Case Sensitivity Checks

The implementation searches for a CodeDomProvider service to decide if it should treat members as case sensitive or case insensitive.

Statement Sorting

All member variables and local variables from init methods are stored in a table. Then each statement in an init method is added to a statement collection grouped according to its left-hand side, so all statements assigning or operating on a particular variable are grouped under that variable. Variables that have no statements are discarded.

Deserialization

The statement collections for each variable are deserialized according to the variable.

The following table shows the services the Deserialize method requires.

Service

Description

CodeDomProvider

While not strictly necessary, the service, if available, is used to determine if the serialization should be case sensitive or case insensitive.

IContainer

If an object does not exist in the name table during deserialization, a query for IContainer is made. If this query succeeds, the container is checked for the object. The container is also used as a stand-in for any container argument needed by components.
