Deserialize problem

10-23-2008 8:33 AM |

 I found some code on google to serialize/deserialize objects in silverlight, but it's not working.

In line:
obj = (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms);

i get the next error:
FileNotFoundException was unhandled by user code
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.Serialization, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I create 3 projects ASP.Net, silverlight application and silverlight library. Silverlight library has one object, that i want to serialize and transfer to server via WebService and then deserialize back to the original object.

I mada a test sample here.

Serialize code:
        public static byte[] Serialize<T>(T AObject)
        {
            DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(AObject.GetType());
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
            serializer.WriteObject(ms, AObject);
            return ms.ToArray();
        }

Deserialize code:
        public static T Deserialize<T>(byte[] AJSon)
        {
            T obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(AJSon);
            DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
            obj = (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms);
            ms.Close();
            return obj;
        }

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I hate to pose the easy answer but did you add a reference to your silverlight application for System.Runtime.Serialization?

Of course. If i wouldn't, the project wouldn't build. The error occur when running project.

 Does really no one has any idea?

Why i can not serialize deserialize class in WebService which is written in Silverlight library?

I would really appreciate if some one could get me solution.
