What I am doing is attempting to send an IPEndpoint through protobuf-net and what I observed is that when deserializing the array of 4 bytes into the IP4 address, the set code recieves a value of 8 bytes. Four bytes containing the orignal address, and 4 more bytes containing the address that was serialized. By stepping through the code I have been able to confirm that when Deserialize is called, it first reads the bytes, and then sets they bytes.
After doing some reading I learned about OverwriteList, and as can been seen in the example below, I have set that to true. However the setter is still provided an 8 byte value.
Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?
This sample code should throw an exception when used with protobuf-net r480, Visual Studio 2010 as a .Net 4.0 console application.
using ProtoBuf;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
[ProtoContract]
class AddressOWner
{
private IPEndPoint endpoint;
public AddressOWner()
{ endpoint = new IPEndPoint(new IPAddress(new byte[] {8,8,8,8}), 0); }
public AddressOWner(IPEndPoint newendpoint)
{ this.endpoint = newendpoint; }
[ProtoMember(1, OverwriteList=true)]
public byte[] AddressBytes
{
get { return endpoint.Address.GetAddressBytes(); }
set { endpoint.Address = new IPAddress(value); }
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
AddressOWner ao = new AddressOWner(new IPEndPoint(new IPAddress(new byte[] { 192, 168, 1, 1 }), 80));
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
Serializer.Serialize(ms, ao);
byte[] messageData = ms.GetBuffer();
ms = new MemoryStream(messageData);
AddressOWner aoCopy = Serializer.Deserialize<AddressOWner>(ms);
}
}
}
