Chapter 39. System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters

This chapter covers the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters namespace, which contains a number of types that are used by serialization formatters. Figure 39-1 shows the types in this namespace. This chapter also features BinaryFormatter and SoapFormatter, two formatters that live in their own namespace and rely on the types in the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters namespace.
