Public Member Functions
	TypeHandler (Type t, SerializationContext context)
	internal constructor
virtual object	CreateInstance (object[] args)
AbstractPropertyHandler	FindProperty (string Name)
	Finds a property by its name. The property must follow the same rules as those returned from the Properties list, i.e. must be readable and writable and not have an ignore attribute.
virtual void	IgnoreProperty (string name)
	Ignore a property to keep from being serialized, same as if the JsonExIgnore attribute had been set.
virtual bool	IsCollection ()
	Returns true if this type is a collection type.
virtual CollectionHandler	GetCollectionHandler ()
	Returns a collection handler if this object is a collection.
Protected Member Functions
virtual void	LoadProperties ()
	Loads the properties for the type if they haven't already been loaded.
virtual void	ReadProperties (out IList< AbstractPropertyHandler > Properties, out IList< AbstractPropertyHandler > ConstructorArguments)
	Reads the properties and constructor arguments from type metadata.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.LoadProperties

(

)

[protected, virtual]

Loads the properties for the type if they haven't already been loaded.

virtual void JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.ReadProperties	(	out IList< AbstractPropertyHandler >	Properties,
		out IList< AbstractPropertyHandler >	ConstructorArguments
	)			[protected, virtual]

Reads the properties and constructor arguments from type metadata.

Parameters:

	Properties	properties collection
	ConstructorArguments	constructor arguments

int JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.PropertyHandlerComparison	(	AbstractPropertyHandler	a,
		AbstractPropertyHandler	b
	)			[protected]

virtual object JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.CreateInstance

(

object[]

args

)

[virtual]

AbstractPropertyHandler JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.FindProperty

(

string

Name

)

Finds a property by its name. The property must follow the same rules as those returned from the Properties list, i.e. must be readable and writable and not have an ignore attribute.

Parameters:

Name

the name of the property

Returns:

TypeHandlerProperty instance for the property or null if not found

virtual void JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.IgnoreProperty

(

string

name

)

[virtual]

Ignore a property to keep from being serialized, same as if the JsonExIgnore attribute had been set.

Parameters:

name

the name of the property

virtual bool JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.IsCollection

(

)

[virtual]

Returns true if this type is a collection type.

Parameters:

context

the serialization context

Returns:

true if a collection

virtual CollectionHandler JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.GetCollectionHandler

(

)

[virtual]

Returns a collection handler if this object is a collection.

Parameters:

context

Returns:

override IJsonTypeConverter JsonExSerializer.MetaData.TypeHandler.CreateTypeConverter

(

)

[protected, virtual]

Implements JsonExSerializer.MetaData.MemberHandlerBase.
