Sending serialized data from server to client

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a list that I have serialized in a server like this:

BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
formatter.Serialize(NetworkStream, List);

and want to send it to the client using a TCP socket. How do I send that data, and how should the client be prepared to receive it. Any help will be appreciated. Also I'm new to using sockets, so please provide an example if possible.

If you are using .NET, why don't you just set up a WCF service and let the framework handle the serializing?

Hey Neil,

Start here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480190.aspx

Once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy to use WCF.

Ok, my comment was a reply to your comment but somehow it came above yours.
