Classes

BinaryGenerator

Abstract class providing mechanisms supporting generating documents from binary template files.

Generator

Base class for generators for generating documents based on document templates. This class also contains the interface needed for instantiating a generator.

OptimizationException

Exception thrown when a value being optimized does not meet the required criteria for optimization.

ProviderStream

Stream for reading from and writing to the document archive.

SerializationReader

A SerializationReader instance is used to read stored values and objects from a byte array.

Once an instance is created, use the various methods to read the required data. The data read MUST be exactly the same type and in the same order as it was written.

SerializationWriter

A SerializationWriter instance is used to store values and objects in a byte array.

Once an instance is created, use the various methods to store the required data. ToArray() will return a byte[] containing all of the data required for deserialization. This can be stored in the SerializationInfo parameter in an ISerializable.GetObjectData() method.

As an alternative to ToArray(), if you want to apply some post-processing to the serialized bytes, such as compression, call AppendTokenTables first to ensure that the string and object token tables are appended to the stream, and then cast BaseStream to MemoryStream. You can then access the MemoryStream's internal buffer as follows:

writer.AppendTokenTables();
         MemoryStream stream = (MemoryStream) writer.BaseStream;
         serializedData = MiniLZO.Compress(stream.GetBuffer(), (int) stream.Length);
