packing fields of a class into a byte array in c#
- by alex
Hi all:
I am trying to create a fast way to convert c# classes into byte array. I thought of serializing the class directly to a byte array using an example I found:
// Convert an object to a byte array
private byte[] ObjectToByteArray(Object obj)
{
if(obj == null)
return null;
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
bf.Serialize(ms, obj);
return ms.ToArray();
}
But the byte array I got contains some other information that are not related to the fields in the class. I guess it is also converting the Properties of the class.
Is there a way to serialize only the fields of the class to a byte array?
Thanks
