SQL Server :: Deserializing Object That Is Different Than When It Was Serialized

Mar 29, 2011

I have an issue with deserializing an object. I get an error 'System.Int32' cannot be converted to type 'System.Decimal'. This object has many child objects and since this object has been serialized, a new version of the object has one or many fields that have been changed to decimal and now I can't open or view the object because it doesn't match my original object. Is there a way around this? I've found some examples online but it doesn't really apply to my situation. I would post some code but I don't think it would really help...I would just like to know if there is a way to view my serialized object even if my object has now changed and how to go about doing it.

C# - Deserializing An Object That Is Different Than When It Was Serialized?

Mar 29, 2011

I have an issue with deserializing an object. I get an error 'System.Int32' cannot be converted to type 'System.Decimal'. This object has many child objects and since this object has been serialized, a new version of the object has one or many fields that have been changed from int to decimal and now I can't deserialize the object because it doesn't match my original object.

I have tried using the OnDeserializing method but the context parameter.

Is there a way around this? I've found some examples online but it doesn't really apply to my situation. I would just like to know if there is a way to view my serialized object even if my object has now changed or if there is a way to find out which variable needs to be changed to decimal and how to go about doing it.

I've added your code but I'm not quite sure how to call it from my code. Here's what I've got:

public static Application LoadSnapshot(int appID, int statusID)
{
ApplicationSnapshotCollection AppSnap = new ApplicationSnapshotCollection();
AppSnap.LoadByAppAndSnapshotStatusID(appID, statusID);

[Code]....

How do I go about calling the constructor with the proper parameters in my scenario?

Best Way To Determine Type Of Object Serialized To XML?

Jan 2, 2011

I have a table in my SQL Server DB that holds auditing information for certain actions a user takes within my system. Things like who performed the action, when it was performed, and what action are all pieces of information that can easily span multiple actions. But depending on the action performed, there may be other information that I want to capture, that is specific to the action. To handle this, I elected to add an "XML Metadata" column to the table that holds serialized XML of different metadata objects that I've created. I created a metadata object for each of the actions that I'm interested in tracking extra for. So each object is responsible for tracking specific extra information (metadata) for it's action. The objects are serialized and written to my new column.

I have SystemAction objects that I use to store information from this table, and I've added a string field that holds the XML string from the DB. The problem is, when I'm reading this XML back from the SystemAction objects, I'm struggling with a way to generically translate it back into it's correct metadata object. Each metadata object is going to have different fields, and each object has it's own static method that takes an XML string and attempts to return the metadata object type. So I could say:

SomeActionMetadata mdObj = SomeActionMetadata.BuildFromXML(xmlStringFromDB);

But I really don't know of a way to say "Here's some XML that could translate to any number of different objects. Figure it out and give me the right object back."

Given my current implementation, I could always just assign a unique ID to each metadata object that is stored as a field in each object, then use a case statement to switch on that ID and use the appropriate class's static build method to build the right object. But I was hoping for something a little more automatic than that. What if I have a List of SystemAction objects and just want to loop through them and generate the correct metadata object type?

"The EntityReference Object Could Not Be Serialized" When Serializing From .NET Web Site,?

Mar 22, 2010

I have an Entity Framework data model. Part of the model is a Customer entity. The web service provides a method to get a customer, and to receive an updated version of this customer to be persisted.

To test this, I created a new ASP.NET web Application, (Solution > Add > New Project > ASP.NET Web Application), then added a reference to my service reference using the standard Add Service Reference dialog. I then call the service using the following code:

var client = new CustomerServiceClient();
var customer = client.GetCustomerByID(18); // get it
customer.LimitDown = 100; // change it
client.SaveCustomer(customer); // persist it


Everything works as expected.

Now, I do exactly the same thing, but this time with as ASP.NET Web Site (Solution > Add > New Web Site > ASP.NET Web Site). I add the reference in a similar fashion and copy and paste the code above into the new site. But now I get the following exception thrown on the 4th line:

System.InvalidOperationException The EntityReference object could not be serialized. This type of object cannot be serialized when t RelationshipManager belongs to an entity object that does not implement IEntityWithRelationships.

Source Error:

Line 2474: Line 2475:
public
SkyWalkerCustomerService.OperationResult
SaveCustomer(SkyWalkerCustomerService.Customer[code]....

Googling for this error returns very little. Why doesn't this work?I guess one answer would be to use a web application instead of a web site, but I have an large existing site to which I need to add the service reference, and I'd rather not convert it.

MVC :: Deserializing Nullable Model Properties?

Aug 16, 2010

I'm posting Json data to an action that has a model class as a parameter using the

JsonValueProviderFactory. Everything works except for any nullable properties in the model, such as double? and bool? - they always materialize as null, even if a value is posted.

I'm not sure if this issue is specific to the JsonValueProviderFactory, or MVC in general.

Deserializing A PHP Json Encoded (json_encode) String With .NET Webservices

Feb 22, 2011

I am really struggling deserializing a PHP json encoded string in ASP.NET.I am using nusoap and CakePHP 1.3 on the PHP side and mvc.net 4.0 on the web service side and everything was working well. However, I couldn't figure out how to pass a complex array as one parameter of the webservice, so I had the idea of serializing it as json and passing a simple string. So far so good...

Web Forms :: XML Serialization Of A Class For Storage In The Profile Not Deserializing?

May 13, 2010

I'm trying to store some business objects in a SQLProfileProvider Profile property, however my business objects use public properties, not fields. This means I can't serialize as binary (correct?) so I'm serializing as XML. I've got the basic XML.Serialization attributes on the business objects, basically just XMLRoot and XMLElements with Type properties and an XMLArray attribute for a collection<T>. When I look at the data in the aspnet_Profile table, sure enough, it looks like an XML representation of my BOs:

[Code]....

Additionally, it works fine while the user is logged in.However, if the user logs out and logs back in, the profile property is a new instance of the BO, not what was saved in the profile. What am I missing here?

Parse JQuery Serialized Data In C#?

Oct 13, 2010

I have a ListBox on my page. I'm making an AJAX call to a C# function, and I need to pass the values of the selected items. Here's what I have:

$('#btnSubmit').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'Default.aspx/GetSelectedValues',
data: '{selectedValues: ' + $('#lbItems').serialize() + '}',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: OnSuccess
});
});
<select id="lbItems" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
<option value="4">Four</option>
<option value="5">Five</option>
</select>
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static string GetSelectedValues(string selectedValues)
{
//
}

The data being passed to the C# function looks like:

lbItems=1&lbItems=3&lbItems=5

Is there any built-in C# function that can deserialize that easily, to convert the values into an array of some sort? Or maybe there's a better way to pass the data from jQuery?

WCF / ASMX :: Linq To SQL Web Service Cannot Be Serialized?

Feb 6, 2010

I'm playing around with Web Services using Linq to SQl. I apparently have a lot of learning to do. What I'm trying to do below is pull data from the Northwind db Employee Table. I don't need to see the whole table, I'm just trying to select individual(s) but I keep getting the following error

"System.Data.Linq.Binary cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor"

How To Avoid Clashes With Existing Entity ID's When Deserializing And Importing EF Entities

Feb 11, 2011

I have an ASP.NET 4 web app that is using the Entity Framework to hold, amongst other things, a hierarchical structure of items that is used for features such as navigation.

One of the functions of the application allows the export of a particular branch of the hierarchy tree to XML, generated using a DataContractSerializer. Once exported, the intention is that the XML can then be uploaded to another instance of the same app, deserialized back into EF objects and then added to the data model on the second server.

When I try and import data in this way, I'm finding that I see the following error:

The object could not be added or attached because its EntityReference has an EntityKey property value that does not match the EntityKey for this object.

Taking a closer look at the XML that is generated by the serializer, I can see that the entity key is among the items that has been serialized. Since I'm importing entities that originate from a different database, some of the ID's clash.

What I'd ideally like to be able to do (unless I'm missing something here) is attach the imported entities to an object context and reset the ID's of the objects being imported.

Is there a smart way to do this? Do I simply have to set the ID for each of my imported entities to 0, attach them to the object context and then save changes?

C# - Passing JSON Serialized Data Via Hidden Field?

Mar 2, 2011

In ASP.NET WebForms I want to pass arbitrary data from server to client and back again. I am serializing to JSON and have been simply producing JavaScript that creates the object on the client. I have no problem sending data to the server with ajax, but there are situations where I also want to send a Javascript object data back to the server on postbacks. So I guess it needs to be in a hidden field.

1) What is the best way to do this in terms of minimizing complexity and optimizing space and efficiency? In researching this I discovered Protocol Buffers but there does not seem to be a good C# implementation. I did find one, but it was a couple years old and self-described as buggy so that scared me.

2) If I just pass a JSON string, how can I be sure it will be safe to include as the value for a hidden field? Is there any reason I might not want to do this? I could Base64 encode, but it seems like this adds a lot of overhead. What is considered the best or preferred method?

Web Forms :: Session Ended - But Server Error/ Object Reference Not Set To An Instance Of Object?

Nov 15, 2010

In the VS2005 environment, when I test my session to make sure the page redirects to the main page (itself) if the session is null, it works. There is no error.

The function I use for this is:

[code]....

However, when it is in the production environment in IIS 6.0, when the session has timed out, and I then do a postback by doing some slider control, I see the page reload but immediately thereafter, it throws a Server Error exception of : Object reference not set to an instance of object.

Looking at the stack trace, the event occured:

AJAXEnabledWebApplication1._Default.Slider1_TextChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)

however, why is it that the Slider1_TextChanged event fired even even after during page_load, the page was told to do a response.direct ?? shouldn't the entire page have gone through a full-page refresh life cycle ? why did it continue on to attempt to raise the Slider1_TextChanged event?

WCF - Server.Execute Throwing Object Reference Not Set To An Instance Of An Object?

Mar 29, 2010

I have an ASP.NET page that calls to a WCF service. This WCF service uses a BackgroundWorker to asynchronously create an ASP.NET page on my server. Oddly, when I execute the WCF Service

[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public void PostRequest(string comments)

[code]...

Oddly, when the currentContext.Server.Execute method is executed, it throws an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. The reason this is so strange is because I can look at the currentContext properties in the watch window. In addition, Server is not null. Because of this, I have no idea where this error is coming from.

Deallocate COM Server Object Forcefully From C# .NET?

Oct 21, 2010

Can I know how to deallocate COM server object forcefully from C# .NET if particular condion fails or the object is partially constructed? The problem is I am using that COM server using DCOM mechanism; in the worst case, when the object is not created fully and I am coming out of application since failure, the COM object is still in memory (showed in COM+ Application component services). If its going beyond some limits, it leads to memory leak and crash. But if its manageable amount of failures, its getting deleted after some point of times.

Sample:-

Calculator.App objApp = new Calculator.App();
if( !obj.CanBeUsed() )
{

//how to deallocate the COM object objApp
}

Note:There is a method GC.Collect() used by Garbase Collector to de-allocate from the heap memory forcefully. Whether I can use this method or .NET franework is giving anyother solution for this particular case?
