.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2006BinaryFormatter serialization size.
How can I determine the size of the data that a BinaryFormatter will produce when serializing an object? I basically want to know how many bytes an object with SerializableAttribute will produce if it is serialized to a stream.

You can't determine that up front, so you have to determine that using a memorystream and checking the size of the stream after serializing the data into the memorystream.
