public SerializationConfig Config { get; set; }
FormatterConverter
Gets the formatter converter. 
public IFormatterConverter FormatterConverter { get; }
GuidReferenceResolver
Gets or sets the Guid reference resolver. 
public IExternalGuidReferenceResolver GuidReferenceResolver { get; set; }
IndexReferenceResolver
Gets or sets the index reference resolver. 
public IExternalIndexReferenceResolver IndexReferenceResolver { get; set; }
StreamingContext

Methods

ResetInternalReferences()
Resets the context's internal reference map. 
public void ResetInternalReferences()
ResetToDefault()
Resets the serialization context completely to baseline status, as if its constructor has just been called. This allows complete reuse of a serialization context, with all of its internal reference buffers. 
public void ResetToDefault()
TryGetInternalReferenceId(Object, out Int32)
Tries to get the id of an internally referenced object. 
public bool TryGetInternalReferenceId(object reference, out int id)
Parameters
System.Object reference

The reference to get the id of.
System.Int32 id

The id that was found, or -1 if no id was found.
Returns
System.Boolean

true if a reference was found, otherwise false.
TryRegisterExternalReference(Object, out Guid)
Tries to register an external guid reference. 
public bool TryRegisterExternalReference(object obj, out Guid guid)
Parameters
System.Object obj

The object to reference.
System.Guid guid

The guid of the referenced object.
Returns
System.Boolean

true if the object could be referenced by guid; otherwise, false.
TryRegisterExternalReference(Object, out Int32)
Tries to register an external index reference. 
public bool TryRegisterExternalReference(object obj, out int index)
Parameters
System.Object obj

The object to reference.
System.Int32 index

The index of the referenced object.
Returns
System.Boolean

true if the object could be referenced by index; otherwise, false.
TryRegisterExternalReference(Object, out String)
Tries to register an external string reference. 
public bool TryRegisterExternalReference(object obj, out string id)
Parameters
System.Object obj

The object to reference.
System.String id

The id string of the referenced object.
Returns
System.Boolean

true if the object could be referenced by string; otherwise, false.
TryRegisterInternalReference(Object, out Int32)
Tries to register an internal reference. Returns true if the reference was registered, otherwise, false when the reference has already been registered. 
public bool TryRegisterInternalReference(object reference, out int id)
Parameters
System.Object reference

The reference to register.
System.Int32 id

The id of the registered reference.
Returns
System.Boolean

true if the reference was registered, otherwise, false when the reference has already been registered.
