    text
    copied!<p>I have a custom abstract base class with sub classes that I've made serializable/deseriablizeable with ISerializable. When I do serialization/deserialization of single instances of this class' sub classes, everything works fine. However, when I do an array of them I always end up with an array of nulls on deserialization. Serialization is done with BinaryFormatter.</p> <p>The items are contained within a: </p> <pre><code>public ObservableCollection&lt;Trade&gt; Trades { get; private set; } </code></pre> <p>On serialization this is done in GetObjectData on the SerializationInfo parameter:</p> <pre><code>Trade[] trades = (Trade[])Trades.ToArray&lt;Trade&gt;(); info.AddValue("trades", trades); </code></pre> <p>And on deserialization this is done in the serialization constructor also on the SerializationInfo parameter:</p> <pre><code>Trade[] trades = (Trade[])info.GetValue("trades", typeof(Trade[])); foreach (Trade t in trades) { Trades.Add(t); } </code></pre> <p>Deserialization always gives me an array of nulls and as I mentioned earlier, a single item serializes and deseriaizes just fine with this code:</p> <p>Serialization (GetObjectData method):</p> <pre><code>info.AddValue("trade", Trades.First&lt;Trade&gt;()); </code></pre> <p>Deserialization (Serialization Constructor):</p> <pre><code>Trade t = (Trade)info.GetValue("trade", typeof(Trade)); Trades.Add(t); </code></pre> <p>Is this a common problem? I seem to find no occurrences of anyone else running in to it at least. Hopefully there is a solution :) and if I need to supply you with more information/code just tell me.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
