C# Serialization and Deserialization

As we know you make an object serializable by either implementing the ISerializable interface or by placing the [Serializable] at the top of the class.


1. Students Class


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace SysDiagnosis
{
    public class Student
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string ID { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
        public string Gender { get; set; }
        public double Grade { get; set;}        
    }
}





2. SerilizeHelper Class



using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;

namespace SysDiagnosis
{
    public  class SerializeHelper
    {
        public static void SerializeMe(object obj, string strPath)
        {
            XmlSerializer serilizser = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
            StreamWriter writter = new StreamWriter(strPath);
            serilizser.Serialize(writter.BaseStream,obj);
        }
    }
}


3. Main Program


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Management;

namespace SysDiagnosis
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Student student = new Student();
            student.Name = "Vinodh";
            student.ID = "EE01";
            student.Age = 27;
            student.Gender = "Male";
            student.Grade = 7.50;
            Console.WriteLine("Serializing object to XML");
            SerializeHelper.SerializeMe(student,@"C:\students.xml");
            Console.ReadLine();                          
        }
    }
}


4.Ouput File : (c:\students.xml)


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Student xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Name>Vinodh</Name>
  <ID>EE01</ID>
  <Age>27</Age>
  <Gender>Male</Gender>
  <Grade>7.5</Grade>
</Student>




 class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Student student = new Student();
            student.Name = "Vinodh";
            student.ID = "EE01";
            student.Age = 27;
            student.Gender = "Male";
            student.Grade = 7.50;
            Console.WriteLine("Serializing Object to XML");
            SerializeHelper.SerializeMe(student, @"C:\students.xml");
            Console.WriteLine("Serializing XML to Object");
            SerializeHelper.SerializeMe(@"C:\students.xml", new Student());
       }
 }






namespace SysDiagnosis
{
    public  class SerializeHelper
    {
        public static void SerializeMe(object obj, string strPath)
        {
            XmlSerializer serilizser = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
            StreamWriter writter = new StreamWriter(strPath);
            serilizser.Serialize(writter.BaseStream,obj);
            writter.Close();
        }

        public static void SerializeMe(string strPath, Student obj)
        {
            XmlSerializer serilizer = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(strPath);
            object deserialize = serilizer.Deserialize(reader.BaseStream);
            obj = deserialize as Student;

            Console.WriteLine(obj.Name);
            Console.WriteLine(obj.ID);
            Console.WriteLine(obj.Age);
            Console.WriteLine(obj.Gender);                  
            Console.WriteLine(obj.Grade);


        }
    }
}

Semantic Web in plain english

The semantic web is about making computers behave (or ‘think’) more like humans. The easiest way to understand what this means is to use a cooking analogy. Think of each website where you put your content as a big cookpot. You might throw a carrot into one pot and tag it ‘carrot’, and into another you might put some spaghetti and tag it ‘pasta’. Computers are fine with this kind of input.

But what computers can’t do yet is understand that the thing you called ‘carrot’ is a root vegetable, is full of Vitamin A – and that you are making minestrone soup. It also doesn’t know that you have another pot simmering, and that there’s pasta in there. Or that you need to make a sauce for it. This kind of thinking requires context, and an ability to see the big picture – that is, to know what’s in each pot, and to understand that you’re making dinner. That’s all that data-meshing is; it’s about applying meaning to information from different sources. This is what the semantic web is all about; I call it the “web of meaning” or the “contextual web”. It means being able to ask your computer everything from “When did I last have Sally over?” to “Can I afford a new laptop this month?”.
