Changing Type's Namespace During Binary Serialization Before .NET 4

Question

Doing this is .NET 4.0 and newer is trivial using the BindToName method, which is the opposite of the BindToType method of the SerializationBinder. But, does anyone know a way to do this in .NET 3.5?

Note: The .NET 4.0 answer to this is here.

I think you need to use something which implements the ISerializationSurrogate interface to do this,and its quite a lot of work.

Check out this MSDN article by Jeffrey Richter from back in 2002.

It's unfortunately all fantastically fiddly.

I was afraid of that and never could figure out using Surrogates just to map to an old namespace. Going to leave this open for a while to see if anyone knows of an example. – Ben McIntosh Jun 18 '13 at 15:29
