how to serialize hashtable in c#
I have implemented session state mode sqlserver and when i run my application i am facing XML serialization error of hash table . and my class looks like:
[Serializable]
public class ProjectSetup{
private System.Collections.Hashtable _ConfigTable;
//and other properties here
public System.Collections.Hashtable ConfigTable
{
get { return _ConfigTable; }
}
}
Now i want to know how to serialize the hastable or if there is another alternative please let me know.
and exactly error is: "Cannot serialize m开发者_运维知识库ember ProjectSetup.ConfigTable of type System.Collections.Hashtable, because it implements IDictionary"
Try this:

One way is to implement IXmlSerializable on your class and serialize the hashtable manually. See this article for more detail.
public void WriteXml(System.Xml.XmlWriter writer)
{
// Used while Serialization
// Serialize each BizEntity this collection holds
foreach( string key in this.Dictionary.Keys )
{
Serializer.Serialize(writer, this.Dictionary[key]);
}
}
public void ReadXml(System.Xml.XmlReader reader)
{
// Used while Deserialization
// Move past container
reader.Read();
// Deserialize and add the BizEntitiy objects
while( reader.NodeType != XmlNodeType.EndElement )
{
BizEntity entity;
entity = Serializer.Deserialize(reader) as BizEntity;
reader.MoveToContent();
this.Dictionary.Add(entity.Key, entity);
}
}
Serializing dictionaries is well-described here: http://weblogs.asp.net/avnerk/archive/2006/05/23/Serilalizing-Dictionaries.aspx .
Anyhow serializing dictionaries to JSON seems a more natural choice so consider using JSON serialization libraries
Use custom serialization using ICollection interface implementation, and mark Hashtable as [NonSerialized], instead, use custom collection instead of Hashtable or use it internally, for collection of elements, as in this example:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
public class Test{
static void Main(){
Test t = new Test();
t.SerializeCollection("coll.xml");
}
private void SerializeCollection(string filename){
Employees Emps = new Employees();
// Note that only the collection is serialized -- not the
// CollectionName or any other public property of the class.
Emps.CollectionName = "Employees";
Employee John100 = new Employee("John", "100xxx");
Emps.Add(John100);
XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Employees));
TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
x.Serialize(writer, Emps);
}
}
public class Employees:ICollection{
public string CollectionName;
private ArrayList empArray = new ArrayList();
public Employee this[int index]{
get{return (Employee) empArray[index];}
}
public void CopyTo(Array a, int index){
empArray.CopyTo(a, index);
}
public int Count{
get{return empArray.Count;}
}
public object SyncRoot{
get{return this;}
}
public bool IsSynchronized{
get{return false;}
}
public IEnumerator GetEnumerator(){
return empArray.GetEnumerator();
}
public void Add(Employee newEmployee){
empArray.Add(newEmployee);
}
}
public class Employee{
public string EmpName;
public string EmpID;
public Employee(){}
public Employee(string empName, string empID){
EmpName = empName;
EmpID = empID;
}
}
