Namespace: KGySoft.Serialization.Binary
Assembly: KGySoft.CoreLibraries (in KGySoft.CoreLibraries.dll) Version: 10.0.0

C#

[SecurityCriticalAttribute]
public static byte[] SerializeValueArray<T>(
	T[] array
)
where T : struct, new()

VB

<SecurityCriticalAttribute>
Public Shared Function SerializeValueArray(Of T As {Structure, New}) ( 
	array As T()
) As Byte()

C++

public:
[SecurityCriticalAttribute]
generic<typename T>
where T : value class, gcnew()
static array<unsigned char>^ SerializeValueArray(
	array<T>^ array
)

F#

[<SecurityCriticalAttribute>]
static member SerializeValueArray : 
        array : 'T[] -> byte[]  when 'T : struct, new()

Parameters

array T: The array to serialize.

Type Parameters

T: Element type of the array. Must be a ValueType that has no references.

Return Value

Byte
The byte array representation of the array.

Remarks

Security Note

Do not use this method with T types that have references. When using this library with a compiler that recognizes the unmanaged constraint, then this is enforced for direct calls; however, by using reflection T can be any value type. For performance reasons this method does not check if T has references, but you can call the TrySerializeValueArrayT(T, Byte) method that performs the check.
