Serializes a RollPost, for saving to the database.
- Namespace: Dice.PbP
- Assembly: DiceRoller (in DiceRoller.dll)
Syntax
public void Serialize(
Stream serializationStream
)
Parameters
- serializationStream
- Type: System.IO.Stream
- The stream to write serialized data to.
Remarks
This method should be used whenever serializing a RollPost for persistent storage. It will serialize Pristine and Stored, but leave Current empty (note that Current is written into Stored when Validate() is called).
As a result of this, Validate() must be called on a RollPost before Serialize is called, or else it will not serialize anything (or will serialize old data).
