Difference between XML Serialization and Binary Serialization



XML Serialization
Binary Serialization (Soap)
No need of Serializable attribute on the class
Need Serializable attribute
Only public members are serialized
All members are serializes unless specified as NonSerializable
Class should have default public constructor and class itself should have public access.
No need of default constructor or public access
Namespace: System.XML,Serialization
Namespace: System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatteres.Binary (.Soap)
Outputfile is XML
Outputfile is Binary or XML for SOAP formatter
XMLSerializer need type of object to be serialized or deserialized
No need to specify type of object to be serialized or deserialized.
Support only IDesrializationCallback interface. No support for binary events.Binaryformatter support binary events. Soap formatter supports only IDeserializationCallback interface

How to detect HTML5 support for a browser?

HTML5 has introduced lots of new cool  tags . Not all the browsers support all tags and also the implementation of these tags may be different for each browser. HTML5 specification defines the functional aspects of these tags and not the implementation. Also the general concensus is that by 2022 all browsers will support all new features of HTML5. Of all the modern browsers, Chrome seems to have implemented most, if not all, featutes of HTML5. IE9 supports few. Firefox sits in between. So as a developer how do you make use of the cool HTML5 features without causing any compatibility issues with existing browsers? Traditionally developers have used User Agent to detect browser type and use the features accordingly. However these days, you can easily change a User Agent by using addons in your browser. So you need a more robust way to detect the features supported by the browser as the same engine of two different versions of a browser might support different features. To detect t

How to deploy Lambda function in AWS from developers machine?

  In previous post , we saw how to setup local development environment and test a Lambda function locally. As a developer, you may want to test the function in AWS environment quickly to make sure your code is working. In this post we will look at how to deploy the function in your AWS account. We will look at CI/CD pipeline to automatically build and deploy Lambda function in next post.  If you followed the instruction in previous post , you will notice there are three files in your solution LambdaEntrypoint.cs - This is the entrypoint for AWS Lambda.  aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json - This is the configuration file used by Lambda tooling. Update this file to add AWS profile you created while configuring AWS CLI and region you want to deploy your code. Note make sure you have this setting in your template as for some reason, it is missing from default template.  "function-runtime" : "netcoreapp3.1" , serverless.template - This is CloudFormation Serverless applicatio

When to implement IDisposable?

In .Net, garbage collector is very good at cleaning up managed resources. Managed resources are object implemented using .Net framework and something that the Garbage collector is aware of. Unmanaged resource is anything that is implemented outside .Net framework and Garbage collector has no information about it. The combination of Destructor and Dispose can be used to release unmanaged resources for e.g open files or database connection. If you are not using any unmanaged resource, there is no need to implement IDisposable. Garbage collector will take care of release the unused objects and freeing up the memory.
