IDeserializationCallback::OnDeserialization Method (Object^)

 

Runs when the entire object graph has been deserialized.

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

void OnDeserialization(
	Object^ sender
)

Parameters

sender
Type: System::Object^

The object that initiated the callback. The functionality for this parameter is not currently implemented.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Runtime::Serialization::Formatters::Binary;
using namespace System::Runtime::Serialization;

// called after each instance of this class is deserialized.
