convert dictionary or list to byte[]

问题

Ok, i've seen many similar questions both on here and unity forums asking about converting from one format to another. I've got a (hopefully) simple question that i just can't find the answer for. I'm using the game-center plugin from Prime31 to handle a turn based multi-player game. Inside the plugin for Prime31 they ask you for a byte[] to send to the other players. (State data) So the question is, what would be a good way to convert a List to a byte array AND then convert them back from byte array?

for reference this is as complicated a class as i need, i might need to add more members later, but not any different types. ALSO the list of int's(cards in hand) could easily be 4 separate int if that makes converting the list of PokerPlayers to an byte[] any easier. Also at this list is not a set length but will always be 4-8.

public class PokerPlayer{   
    public string playerID;
    public string alias;
    public int wildCard;
    public List<int> cardsInHand;
    public int chips;   
}

I feel like the when i see the answer I'm going to smack myself for not seeing the answer sooner. Any pointers/ links to relevant materials would be sweet, i've searched google for a good 3 hours now with similar (SO similar) but not quite the same questions.

回答1:

You may want to try serialization.

var binFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();
var mStream = new MemoryStream();
binFormatter.Serialize(mStream, myObjToSerialize);

//This gives you the byte array.
mStream.ToArray();

And then if you want to turn the byte array back into an object:

var mStream = new MemoryStream();
var binFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();

// Where 'objectBytes' is your byte array.
mStream.Write (objectBytes, 0, objectBytes.Length);
mStream.Position = 0;

var myObject = binFormatter.Deserialize(mStream) as YourObjectType;

回答2:

Converting data into byte stream (and back) is called serialization (and deserialization).

You can use the BinaryFormatter class to do so.
