PortableFormatter Class |
A serializer designed to serialize the internal structure of types with support for cyclic object graphs.
The PortableFormatter is very similar in function and design to the BinaryFormatter,
but is supported on most platforms and does not require full trust. Both formatters have similar usage:
SerializableAttribute is replaced by PSerializableAttribute and
NonSerializedAttribute by PNonSerializedAttribute.
