SerializerDescriptor Class
Visual Studio 2010
Provides information about installed plug-in serializers.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
The SerializerDescriptor type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AssemblyName | Gets the name of the assembly that contains the serializer. |
![]() | AssemblyPath | Gets the path to the assembly file that contains the serializer. |
![]() | AssemblyVersion | Gets the version of the assembly that contains the serializer. |
![]() | DefaultFileExtension | Gets the default extension associated with files that the serializer outputs. |
![]() | DisplayName | Gets the public display name of the serializer. |
![]() | FactoryInterfaceName | Gets the name of the ISerializerFactory derived class that implements the serializer. |
![]() | IsLoadable | Gets a value indicating whether the serializer can be loaded with the currently installed version of Microsoft .NET Framework. |
![]() | ManufacturerName | Gets the name of the company that developed the serializer. |
![]() | ManufacturerWebsite | Gets the web address of the company that developed the serializer. |
![]() | WinFXVersion | Gets the version of Microsoft .NET Framework required by the serializer. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | CreateFromFactoryInstance | Creates a new SerializerDescriptor through a given ISerializerFactory implementation. |
![]() | Equals | Tests two SerializerDescriptor objects for equality. (Overrides Object::Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Gets the unique hash code value of the serializer. (Overrides Object::GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Plug-in serializer classes derive from and implement the ISerializerFactory interface.
The following examples illustrate using a SerializerDescriptor to return information on installed plug-in serializers.
// Create a SerializerProvider for accessing plug-in serializers. SerializerProvider serializerProvider = new SerializerProvider(); // Locate the serializer that matches the fileName extension. SerializerDescriptor selectedPlugIn = null; foreach ( SerializerDescriptor serializerDescriptor in serializerProvider.InstalledSerializers ) { if ( serializerDescriptor.IsLoadable && fileName.EndsWith(serializerDescriptor.DefaultFileExtension) ) { // The plug-in serializer and fileName extensions match. selectedPlugIn = serializerDescriptor; break; // foreach } } // If a match for a plug-in serializer was found, // use it to output and store the document. if (selectedPlugIn != null) { Stream package = File.Create(fileName); SerializerWriter serializerWriter = serializerProvider.CreateSerializerWriter(selectedPlugIn, package); IDocumentPaginatorSource idoc = flowDocument as IDocumentPaginatorSource; serializerWriter.Write(idoc.DocumentPaginator, null); package.Close(); return true; }
// ------------------------ PlugInFileFilter -------------------------- /// <summary> /// Gets a filter string for installed plug-in serializers.</summary> /// <remark> /// PlugInFileFilter is used to set the SaveFileDialog or /// OpenFileDialog "Filter" property when saving or opening files /// using plug-in serializers.</remark> private string PlugInFileFilter { get { // Create a SerializerProvider for accessing plug-in serializers. SerializerProvider serializerProvider = new SerializerProvider(); string filter = ""; // For each loadable serializer, add its display // name and extension to the filter string. foreach (SerializerDescriptor serializerDescriptor in serializerProvider.InstalledSerializers) { if (serializerDescriptor.IsLoadable) { // After the first, separate entries with a "|". if (filter.Length > 0) filter += "|"; // Add an entry with the plug-in name and extension. filter += serializerDescriptor.DisplayName + " (*" + serializerDescriptor.DefaultFileExtension + ")|*" + serializerDescriptor.DefaultFileExtension; } } // Return the filter string of installed plug-in serializers. return filter; } }
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
