C# Deserialization

In C# programming, deserialization is the reverse process of serialization. It means you can read the object from byte stream. Here, we are going to use BinaryFormatter.Deserialize(stream) method to deserialize the stream.

Example

Let's see the simple example of deserialization in C#.

snippet

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
[Serializable]
class Student
{
    public int rollno;
    public string name;
    public Student(int rollno, string name)
    {
        this.rollno = rollno;
        this.name = name;
    }
}
public class DeserializeExample
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        FileStream stream = new FileStream("e:\\sss.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
        BinaryFormatter formatter=new BinaryFormatter();

        Student s=(Student)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
        Console.WriteLine("Rollno: " + s.rollno);
        Console.WriteLine("Name: " + s.name);

        stream.Close();
    }
}

Output

Rollno: 101 Name: sonoo
