Explains how to transmit a .NET assembly over HTTP in a WCF service call, focusing on serialisation and deserialisation without using byte streams.
I want to send a .NET assembly as either an System.Reflection.Assembly or as a string over the wire through a Windows Communication Foundation web service. It seems that the class System.Reflection.Assembly can serialize, but is unable to deserialize at the other end. How can this be achieved without sending as a straem of Byte.
I would prefer:
<OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
Sub AddEventHandlerAssembly(ByVal Assembly As System.Reflection.Assembly)
Or:
<OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
Sub AddEventHandlerAssembly(ByVal Assembly As String)
But not:
<OperationContract(IsOneWay:=True)> _
Sub AddEventHandlerAssembly(ByVal Assembly As Byte())
I have tralled the web for a while now, trying to find a solution. I have even decompiled the Assembly class and the problem is that it implements System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable but does not provide the constructor for the deserialize.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
