.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / August 2005Stream is serializable !?!?!
Hi, I notice that the System.IO.Stream class extends MarshalByRefObject which has the [Serializable] attribute I presume this means that a stream can be serialized What does it mean to serialize a stream? Has anyone tried it? Andy Never tried it, but I would assume that it means you can serialize the definition across to then stream data across. This is an interesting thought, however, as serialization is used to stream data. If you experiment post results, as this could be extremely interesting (although probably not as useful) :-)  SignatureGregory A.

Otherwise MarshalByRef means that you get a proxy, if use in remorting, so it's certainly a copy which cross process... SignatureThere are 10 kinds of people in this world.
