C# in a Nutshell

Name

StreamingContext

Synopsis

This class describes the source or destination of a serialized stream. The context can determine how classes are serialized and require special parsing during deserialization. The State property holds a value from StreamingContextStates that indicates the destination of object data during serialization and the source of data during deserialization. This could indicate that you are serializing data to a file, for example, or deserializing data that came from another process.
