SerializerDescriptor Class
Visual Studio 2008
Provides information about installed plug-in serializers.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
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. For the complete sample, see Document Serialization Sample.
// 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; } }
