更具体地说,当异常包含自定义对象时,这些对象本身可能是可序列化的,也可能不是。

举个例子:

public class MyException : Exception
{
    private readonly string resourceName;
    private readonly IList<string> validationErrors;

    public MyException(string resourceName, IList<string> validationErrors)
    {
        this.resourceName = resourceName;
        this.validationErrors = validationErrors;
    }

    public string ResourceName
    {
        get { return this.resourceName; }
    }

    public IList<string> ValidationErrors
    {
        get { return this.validationErrors; }
    }
}

如果这个异常被序列化和反序列化,两个自定义属性(ResourceName和ValidationErrors)将不会被保留。属性将返回null。

是否有通用的代码模式来实现自定义异常的序列化?


当前回答

用[Serializable]标记类,尽管我不确定序列化器将如何处理IList成员。

EDIT

下面的帖子是正确的,因为你的自定义异常有接受参数的构造函数,你必须实现ISerializable。

如果使用默认构造函数,并使用getter/setter属性公开两个自定义成员,则只需设置属性即可。

其他回答

我不得不认为,想要序列化一个异常强烈地表明您对某些事情采取了错误的方法。这里的终极目标是什么?如果在两个进程之间传递异常,或者在同一个进程的不同运行之间传递异常,那么异常的大多数属性在另一个进程中是无效的。

在catch()语句中提取所需的状态信息并将其存档可能更有意义。

实现ISerializable,并遵循执行此操作的常规模式。

您需要用[Serializable]属性标记类,并添加对该接口的支持,还需要添加隐含的构造函数(在该页上有描述,搜索暗示构造函数)。您可以在文本下面的代码中看到它的实现示例。

基本实现,没有自定义属性

SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties.cs:

namespace SerializableExceptions
{
    using System;
    using System.Runtime.Serialization;

    [Serializable]
    // Important: This attribute is NOT inherited from Exception, and MUST be specified 
    // otherwise serialization will fail with a SerializationException stating that
    // "Type X in Assembly Y is not marked as serializable."
    public class SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties : Exception
    {
        public SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties()
        {
        }

        public SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties(string message) 
            : base(message)
        {
        }

        public SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties(string message, Exception innerException) 
            : base(message, innerException)
        {
        }

        // Without this constructor, deserialization will fail
        protected SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) 
            : base(info, context)
        {
        }
    }
}

完全实现,具有自定义属性

一个自定义的可序列化异常(MySerializableException)和一个派生的密封异常(MyDerivedSerializableException)的完整实现。

关于这个实现的要点总结如下:

You must decorate each derived class with the [Serializable] attribute — This attribute is not inherited from the base class, and if it is not specified, serialization will fail with a SerializationException stating that "Type X in Assembly Y is not marked as serializable." You must implement custom serialization. The [Serializable] attribute alone is not enough — Exception implements ISerializable which means your derived classes must also implement custom serialization. This involves two steps: Provide a serialization constructor. This constructor should be private if your class is sealed, otherwise it should be protected to allow access to derived classes. Override GetObjectData() and make sure you call through to base.GetObjectData(info, context) at the end, in order to let the base class save its own state.

异常已经是可序列化的,但是您需要重写GetObjectData方法来存储变量,并提供一个构造函数,可以在重新水化对象时调用该构造函数。

所以你的例子就是:

[Serializable]
public class MyException : Exception
{
    private readonly string resourceName;
    private readonly IList<string> validationErrors;

    public MyException(string resourceName, IList<string> validationErrors)
    {
        this.resourceName = resourceName;
        this.validationErrors = validationErrors;
    }

    public string ResourceName
    {
        get { return this.resourceName; }
    }

    public IList<string> ValidationErrors
    {
        get { return this.validationErrors; }
    }

    [SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, SerializationFormatter=true)]
    protected MyException(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) : base (info, context)
    {
        this.resourceName = info.GetString("MyException.ResourceName");
        this.validationErrors = info.GetValue("MyException.ValidationErrors", typeof(IList<string>));
    }

    [SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, SerializationFormatter=true)]
    public override void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
    {
        base.GetObjectData(info, context);

        info.AddValue("MyException.ResourceName", this.ResourceName);

        // Note: if "List<T>" isn't serializable you may need to work out another
        //       method of adding your list, this is just for show...
        info.AddValue("MyException.ValidationErrors", this.ValidationErrors, typeof(IList<string>));
    }

}
