使自定义.NET Exception可序列化的正确方法是什么?
更具体地说,当异常包含自定义对象时,自定义对象本身可能可以序列化,也可以不可以序列化。
举个例子:
public class MyException : Exception
{
private readonly string resourceName;
private readonly IList<string> validationErrors;
public MyException(string resourceName, IList<string> validationErrors)
{
this.resourceName = resourceName;
this.validationErrors = validationErrors;
}
public string ResourceName
{
get { return this.resourceName; }
}
public IList<string> ValidationErrors
{
get { return this.validationErrors; }
}
}
如果将此Exception序列化并反序列化,则不会保留两个自定义属性(" ResourceName"和" ValidationErrors")。该属性将返回" null"。
是否存在用于实现自定义异常的序列化的通用代码模式?
解决方案
用[Serializable]标记类,尽管我不确定串行器将如何处理IList成员。
编辑
下面的帖子是正确的,因为自定义异常具有带参数的构造函数,因此我们必须实现ISerializable。
如果使用默认构造函数并使用getter / setter属性公开这两个自定义成员,则只需设置该属性即可。
实现ISerializable,并遵循正常模式进行操作。
我们需要使用[Serializable]属性标记该类,并添加对该接口的支持,还添加隐式构造函数(在该页面上进行描述,搜索隐式构造函数)。我们可以在文本下方的代码中看到其实现的示例。
我必须认为,要序列化异常是一个很强的迹象,表明我们对某些问题采用了错误的方法。最终目标是什么?如果要在两个进程之间或者同一进程的不同运行之间传递异常,则该异常的大多数属性无论如何在另一个进程中将无效。
在catch()语句中提取所需的状态信息并将其存档可能会更有意义。
异常已经可以序列化了,但是我们需要重写GetObjectData方法来存储变量并提供一个构造函数,该构造函数可以在为对象重新补水时调用。
因此,示例变为:
[Serializable()]
public class MyException : Exception
{
private readonly string resourceName;
private readonly IList<string> validationErrors;
public MyException(string resourceName, IList<string> validationErrors)
{
this.resourceName = resourceName;
this.validationErrors = validationErrors;
}
public string ResourceName
{
get { return this.resourceName; }
}
public IList<string> ValidationErrors
{
get { return this.validationErrors; }
}
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, SerializationFormatter=true)]
protected MyException(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) : base (info, context)
{
this.resourceName = info.GetString("MyException.ResourceName");
this.validationErrors = info.GetValue("MyException.ValidationErrors", typeof(IList<string>));
}
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, SerializationFormatter=true)]
public override void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
{
base.GetObjectData(info, context);
info.AddValue("MyException.ResourceName", this.ResourceName);
// Note: if "List<T>" isn't serializable you may need to work out another
// method of adding your list, this is just for show...
info.AddValue("MyException.ValidationErrors", this.ValidationErrors, typeof(IList<string>));
}
}

我想不出具有非可序列化成员的Exception的任何用例,但是如果我们避免尝试在GetObjectData和反序列化构造函数中序列化/反序列化它们,则应该可以。还用[NonSerialized]属性标记它们,更多的是作为文档,而不是其他任何东西,因为我们自己实现序列化。
基本实现,无自定义属性
SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties.cs:
namespace SerializableExceptions
{
using System;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
[Serializable]
// Important: This attribute is NOT inherited from Exception, and MUST be specified
// otherwise serialization will fail with a SerializationException stating that
// "Type X in Assembly Y is not marked as serializable."
public class SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties : Exception
{
public SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties()
{
}
public SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties(string message)
: base(message)
{
}
public SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties(string message, Exception innerException)
: base(message, innerException)
{
}
// Without this constructor, deserialization will fail
protected SerializableExceptionWithoutCustomProperties(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
: base(info, context)
{
}
}
}
具有自定义属性的完整实现
完整实现自定义可序列化异常(" MySerializableException")和派生的"密封"异常(" MyDerivedSerializableException")。
有关此实现的要点总结如下:
- 我们必须使用Serializable属性修饰每个派生类。此属性不是从基类继承的,如果未指定,则序列化将失败,并带有
SerializationException,指出"未在程序集Y中标记X可序列化。" - 重写GetObjectData()并确保最后调用" base.GetObjectData(info,context)",以便让基类保存其自己的状态。
SerializableExceptionWithCustomProperties.cs:

base.GetObjectData(info, context);
