IDesignerSerializationManager Interface
.NET Framework 3.0
Provides an interface that can manage design-time serialization.
Namespace: System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
A designer can utilize IDesignerSerializationManager to access services useful to managing design-time serialization processes. For example, a class that implements the designer serialization manager can use this interface to create objects, look up types, identify objects, and customize the serialization of particular types.
The following example illustrates how to use IDesignerSerializationManager to serialize and deserialize Code DOM statements.
