Hello,
I get this error when serializing a object. Specificly an bitmap in the
object. This object is obtained from a different dll than the one
serialized, could that be the problem? That seems to be the only
difference...

Any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Schneider

below if the code and error:

 Private Shared Sub SerializeObjectToBinaryFile(ByVal fileName As String,
ByVal value As Object)
  If fileName Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("fileName")
  If value Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("value")

  Dim stream As Stream = Nothing
  Try
   Dim formatter As IFormatter = New BinaryFormatter
   formatter.Binder = New RouteSerializationBinder

   stream = New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write,
FileShare.None)
   formatter.Serialize(stream, value)

  Catch ie As System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException
   Throw ie
  Catch
   Throw
  Finally
   If Not stream Is Nothing Then stream.Close()
  End Try
 End Sub

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

The problem is simply, the original bitmap isn't done with the underlying
stream... the stream must
remain open for the lifetime of the bitmap, otherwise when an action to
transfer, recreate, redraw the bitmap occurs, the stream isn't there for the
data, and the whole thing kind of breaks down... The problem is described
here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814675/en-us

And basically requires you to create a copy of your bitmap in memory that
isn't dependent on the original stream, then you can do whatever you like
with it (including closing and disposing the original bitmap and stream)...

Hope this helps..

The following method to copy the image seems to work:

Private Shared Function CopyImage(ByVal value As Bitmap) As Bitmap

Dim bm As Bitmap = New Bitmap(value.Width, value.Height,
Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)

Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bm)

g.DrawImage(value, 0, 0, value.Width, value.Height)

g.Dispose()

Return bm

End Function
