Unit testing classes for serialization using the SoapFormatter

This is a testing template to validate that an object is serializable using the SoapFormatter.

 

[Test]

public void ClassIsSerializableWithSoapSerializer() {

    IFormatter formatter = new SoapFormatter();

    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

    Class original = new Class();

    //Set values on original.

    Class deserializedObject = new Class();

    formatter.Serialize(stream, original);

    stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

    deserializedObject = (Class)formatter.Deserialize(stream);

    //Assert values on deserialized object are as expected.

}
