CachedDataItem.SerializeDataInstance Method

  • Статья

Serializes data to the cached data object that is represented by the CachedDataItem.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.ServerDocument (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.ServerDocument.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub SerializeDataInstance ( _
    value As Object _
)

public void SerializeDataInstance(
    Object value
)

Parameters

  • value
    Type: System.Object
    The object that contains the data you want to save to an object in the data cache.

Remarks

Use the SerializeDataInstance method to initialize or modify the value of a cached data object. This method serializes the value parameter into the cached data object that the CachedDataItem represents. To make changes to specific data values in a complex cached data object, such as a DataSet or DataTable, deserialize the XML representation of the cached data into a new instance of the cached object, make the changes to this copy, and then use the SerializeDataInstance method to serialize the changes back into the data cache. For more information, see Accessing Data in Documents on the Server and How to: Change Cached Data in a Workbook on a Server.

This method uses the DiffGram format for serializing DataSet, DataTable, and typed dataset objects into the data cache. This ensures that changes to the data cache in an offline document are sent to the server correctly. For more information, see DiffGrams (ADO.NET).

Examples

The following code example uses the SerializeDataInstance method to modify the value of a string that is cached in a worksheet of an Excel workbook.

This example requires:

  • A document-level customization for Excel that has a Sheet1 class in the ExcelWorkbook1 namespace, and a cached string in the Sheet1 class named CachedString.

  • A console application project or some other non-Office project.

  • References to the following assemblies:

    • Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.ServerDocument.dll and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime.dll (if the project targets the .NET Framework 4).

      or

    • Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.ServerDocument.v10.0.dll and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime.v9.0.dll (if the project targets the .NET Framework 3.5).

  • Imports (for Visual Basic) or using (for C#) statements for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime namespaces at the top of your code file.
