AppStateSerializer extension

[Doug]

Is there a way to change the default extension from .bin to something else? Thanks.

Hi Doug,

The AppStateSerializer supports the following serialization modes :

(i) IsolatedStorage
(ii) BinaryFile
(iii)XMLFile
(iv) WindowsRegistry
(v) XMLFmtStream
(vi) BinaryFmtStream

You could specify any of the above modes using the SerializeMode enumeration value as follows :

AppStateSerializer serializer = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.XMLFile, fileName);

Please refer to the Class Reference for more information. Thanks for your continued interest in Syncfusion products.

Thank you for your reply. I suppose my question wasn't clear enough. I am calling:
AppStateSerializer serializer = new AppStateSerializer(SerializeMode.BinaryFile,fileName);

I want to save the the binary file, but when it saves, it always puts ".bin" at the end of the fileName. Is there any way to change this? I want the extension to be something different than ".bin". Thanks.

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the clarification. It is possible to do so if you have the source code by modifying the AppStateSerializer class file. Please create an incident in Direct Trac in this regard, and I will update you there with more information. Thanks for your cooperation.
