StreamingContext Structure

.NET Framework (current version)

Describes the source and destination of a given serialized stream, and provides an additional caller-defined context.

Namespace: System.Runtime.Serialization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

[<Sealed>]
[<SerializableAttribute>]
[<ComVisibleAttribute(true)>]
type StreamingContext = struct end

Constructors

	Name	Description
	StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates)	Initializes a new instance of the StreamingContext class with a given context state.
	StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates, Object)	Initializes a new instance of the StreamingContext class with a given context state, and some additional information.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Context	Gets context specified as part of the additional context.
	State	Gets the source or destination of the transmitted data.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether two StreamingContext instances contain the same values.(Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)
	GetHashCode()	Returns a hash code of this object.(Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString()	Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance.(Inherited from ValueType.)

Indicates the source or destination of the bits that the formatter uses. Classes with surrogates or that implement ISerializable can serialize or ignore fields and values based on the information stored in the streaming context. For example, a window handle is still valid if the State property is set to System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContextStates.CrossProcess.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the StreamingContext structure.
