FileSerializer.DeserializeWithLengthPrefix<T> Method

Namespace: devDept.Serialization
Assembly: devDept.Eyeshot.Control (in devDept.Eyeshot.Control.dll)

Applies a protocol-buffer stream to an existing instance (or null), using length-prefixed data.

Type Parameters

T

Parameters

stream: Stream

The binary stream to apply to the instance (cannot be null/Nothing)

bytesRead: long

Returns the number of bytes consumed by this operation (includes length-prefix overheads and any skipped data).

haveObject: bool

True when an object has been read, otherwise false.

expectedField: int

The tag used as a prefix to each record.

Return Value

The updated instance; this may be different to the instance argument if either the original instance was null, or the stream defines a known sub-type of the original instance.

Remarks

You can use this method to read an object from a protocol-buffer stream representation. You had to serialize the file header before using this method to guarantee the backward compatibility when reading. The opening and the closing of the stream is delegated to you.
