Defines the compatibility level / conventions to use when encoding common types into protobuf. When starting a new green-field project the highest available level can be safely applied, but note that changing the compatibility level changes the encoding. For this reason, it should not be casually changed on brown-field projects, unless you are also knowingly breaking the encoding requirements of pre-existing data. If not specified, the oldest (lowest number) is assumed, for safety. Functionally identical to Uses bcl.proto for , , and , for compatibility with all versions of protobuf-net, at the expense of being inconvenient for use with other protobuf implementations. Like , but uses '.google.protobuf.Timestamp' for and '.google.protobuf.Duration' for . This is functionally identical to a configuration that specifies . Like , but uses 'string' for (big-endian hyphenated UUID format; a shorter 'bytes' variant is also available via ) and (invariant "general" format). Defines the compatibiltiy level to use for an element The compatibiltiy level to use for this element Create a new CompatibilityLevelAttribute instance Sub-format to use when serializing/deserializing data Uses the default encoding for the data-type. When applied to signed integer-based data (including Decimal), this indicates that zigzag variant encoding will be used. This means that values with small magnitude (regardless of sign) take a small amount of space to encode. When applied to signed integer-based data (including Decimal), this indicates that two's-complement variant encoding will be used. This means that any -ve number will take 10 bytes (even for 32-bit), so should only be used for compatibility. When applied to signed integer-based data (including Decimal), this indicates that a fixed amount of space will be used. When applied to a sub-message, indicates that the value should be treated as group-delimited. When applied to members of types such as DateTime or TimeSpan, specifies that the "well known" standardized representation should be use; DateTime uses Timestamp, TimeSpan uses Duration.

The additional fields are (by default) stored in-memory in a buffer. As an example of an alternative implementation, you might choose to use the file system (temporary files) as the back-end, tracking only the paths [such an object would ideally be IDisposable and use a finalizer to ensure that the files are removed].

This class acts as an internal wrapper allowing us to do a dynamic methodinfo invoke; an't put into Serializer as don't want on public API; can't put into Serializer<T> since we need to invoke across classes All this does is call GetExtendedValuesTyped with the correct type for "instance"; this ensures that we don't get issues with subclasses declaring conflicting types - the caller must respect the fields defined for the type they pass in. All this does is call GetExtendedValuesTyped with the correct type for "instance"; this ensures that we don't get issues with subclasses declaring conflicting types - the caller must respect the fields defined for the type they pass in. Not all frameworks are created equal (fx1.1 vs fx2.0, micro-framework, compact-framework, silverlight, etc). This class simply wraps up a few things that would otherwise make the real code unnecessarily messy, providing fallback implementations if necessary. Intended to be a direct map to regular TypeCode, but: - with missing types - existing on WinRT Indicates that the implementing type has support for protocol-buffer extensions. Can be implemented by deriving from Extensible. Retrieves the extension object for the current instance, optionally creating it if it does not already exist. Should a new extension object be created if it does not already exist? The extension object if it exists (or was created), or null if the extension object does not exist or is not available. The createIfMissing argument is false during serialization, and true during deserialization upon encountering unexpected fields. Indicates that the implementing type has support for protocol-buffer extensions at multiple inheritance levels. Can be implemented by deriving from Extensible. Retrieves the extension object for the current instance, optionally creating it if it does not already exist. Should a new extension object be created if it does not already exist? The that holds the fields, in terms of the inheritance model; the same tag key can appear against different type levels for the same instance, with different values. The extension object if it exists (or was created), or null if the extension object does not exist or is not available. The createIfMissing argument is false during serialization, and true during deserialization upon encountering unexpected fields. Provides addition capability for supporting unexpected fields during protocol-buffer serialization/deserialization. This allows for loss-less round-trip/merge, even when the data is not fully understood. Requests a stream into which any unexpected fields can be persisted. A new stream suitable for storing data. Indicates that all unexpected fields have now been stored. The implementing class is responsible for closing the stream. If "commit" is not true the data may be discarded. The stream originally obtained by BeginAppend. True if the append operation completed successfully. Requests a stream of the unexpected fields previously stored. A prepared stream of the unexpected fields. Indicates that all unexpected fields have now been read. The implementing class is responsible for closing the stream. The stream originally obtained by BeginQuery. Requests the length of the raw binary stream; this is used when serializing sub-entities to indicate the expected size. The length of the binary stream representing unexpected data. Provides the ability to remove all existing extension data Remove all existing extension data Specifies the method used to infer field tags for members of the type under consideration. Tags are deduced using the invariant alphabetic sequence of the members' names; this makes implicit field tags very brittle, and susceptible to changes such as field names (normally an isolated change). No members are serialized implicitly; all members require a suitable attribute such as [ProtoMember]. This is the recmomended mode for most scenarios. Public properties and fields are eligible for implicit serialization; this treats the public API as a contract. Ordering beings from ImplicitFirstTag. Public and non-public fields are eligible for implicit serialization; this acts as a state/implementation serializer. Ordering beings from ImplicitFirstTag. Provides access to the inner fields of a decimal. Similar to decimal.GetBits(), but faster and avoids the int[] allocation Provides access to the inner fields of a Guid. Similar to Guid.ToByteArray(), but faster and avoids the byte[] allocation Indicates whether a value is non-null and needs serialization (non-zero, not an empty string, etc) Indicates whether a value is null Represents the ability to deserialize values from an input of type Deserialize a value from the input Represents the ability to serialize values to an output of type Serialize the provided value Represents the ability to serialize values to an output of type with pre-computation of the length Measure the length of a value in advance of serialization Serialize the previously measured value Represents common state during a serialization operation; this instance should not be stored - it may be reused later with different meaning The type-model that represents the operation Addition information about this serialization operation. Represents the outcome of computing the length of an object; since this may have required computing lengths for multiple objects, some metadata is retained so that a subsequent serialize operation using this instance can re-use the previously calculated lengths. If the object state changes between the measure and serialize operations, the behavior is undefined. Releases all resources associated with this value Gets the calculated length of this serialize operation, in bytes Returns the calculated length, disposing the value as a side-effect Perform the calculated serialization operation against the provided target stream. If the object state changes between the measure and serialize operations, the behavior is undefined. Perform the calculated serialization operation against the provided target writer. If the object state changes between the measure and serialize operations, the behavior is undefined.

Provides protobuf serialization support for a number of types Gets or sets the buffer-size to use when writing messages via Gets or sets the max serialization/deserialization depth Gets a cached serializer for a type, as offered by a given provider Specifies optional behaviors associated with a type model No additional options Should the deserializer attempt to avoid duplicate copies of the same string? Should the Kind be included on date/time values? Should zero-length packed arrays be serialized? (this is the v2 behavior, but skipping them is more efficient) Should root-values allow "packed" encoding? (v2 does not support this) Specifies optional behaviors associated with this model Resolve a System.Type to the compiler-specific type Resolve a System.Type to the compiler-specific type Indicates whether a type is known to the model This is the more "complete" version of Serialize, which handles single instances of mapped types.

Indicates that while an inheritance tree exists, the exact type encountered was not specified in that hierarchy and cannot be processed. Returns whether the object provided is a subtype of the expected type Indicates that the given type was not expected, and cannot be processed. Indicates that the given type cannot be constructed; it may still be possible to deserialize into existing instances. Returns true if the type supplied is either a recognised contract type, or a *list* of a recognised contract type. Note that primitives always return false, even though the engine will, if forced, try to serialize such True if this type is recognised as a serializable entity, else false Returns true if the type supplied is a basic type with inbuilt handling, a recognised contract type, or a *list* of a basic / contract type.

A new IFormatter to be used during [de]serialization. The type of object to be [de]deserialized by the formatter. The field number that is used as a default when serializing/deserializing a list of objects. The data is treated as repeated message with field number 1. Specifies the type of prefix that should be applied to messages. No length prefix is applied to the data; the data is terminated only be the end of the stream. A base-128 ("varint", the default prefix format in protobuf) length prefix is applied to the data (efficient for short messages). A fixed-length (little-endian) length prefix is applied to the data (useful for compatibility). A fixed-length (big-endian) length prefix is applied to the data (useful for compatibility). Indicates that a type is defined for protocol-buffer serialization. Gets or sets the defined name of the type. This can be fully qualified , for example .foo.bar.someType if required. Gets or sets the file that defines this type (as used with import in .proto) Gets or sets the fist offset to use with implicit field tags; only uesd if ImplicitFields is set. If specified, alternative contract markers (such as markers for XmlSerailizer or DataContractSerializer) are ignored. If specified, do NOT treat this type as a list, even if it looks like one. Gets or sets the mechanism used to automatically infer field tags for members. This option should be used in advanced scenarios only. Please review the important notes against the ImplicitFields enumeration. Enables/disables automatic tag generation based on the existing name / order of the defined members. This option is not used for members marked with ProtoMemberAttribute, as intended to provide compatibility with WCF serialization. WARNING: when adding new fields you must take care to increase the Order for new elements, otherwise data corruption may occur. If not explicitly specified, the default is assumed from Serializer.GlobalOptions.InferTagFromName. Has a InferTagFromName value been explicitly set? if not, the default from the type-model is assumed. Specifies an offset to apply to [DataMember(Order=...)] markers; this is useful when working with mex-generated classes that have a different origin (usually 1 vs 0) than the original data-contract. This value is added to the Order of each member. If true, the constructor for the type is bypassed during deserialization, meaning any field initializers or other initialization code is skipped. Should this type be treated as a reference by default? Please also see the implications of this, as recorded on ProtoMemberAttribute.AsReference Indicates whether this type should always be treated as a "group" (rather than a string-prefixed sub-message) Gets or sets a value indicating whether unknown sub-types should cause serialization failure Applies only to enums (not to DTO classes themselves); gets or sets a value indicating that an enum should be treated directly as an int/short/etc, rather than enforcing .proto enum rules. This is useful *in particul* for [Flags] enums. Defines a surrogate type used for serialization/deserialization purpose. Defines a serializer to use for this type; the serializer must implement ISerializer-T for this type Indicates that a static member should be considered the same as though were an implicit / explicit conversion operator; in particular, this is useful for conversions that operator syntax does not allow, such as to/from interface types. Used to define protocol-buffer specific behavior for enumerated values. Gets or sets the specific value to use for this enum during serialization.

Specifies whether the inherited type's sub-message should be written with a length-prefix (default), or with group markers. Controls the formatting of elements in a dictionary, and indicates that "map" rules should be used: duplicates *replace* earlier values, rather than throwing an exception Describes the data-format used to store the key Describes the data-format used to store the value Disables "map" handling; dictionaries will use ".Add(key,value)" instead of "[key] = value", which means duplicate keys will cause an exception (instead of retaining the final value); if a proto schema is emitted, it will be produced using "repeated" instead of "map" Declares a member to be used in protocol-buffer serialization, using the given Tag. A DataFormat may be used to optimise the serialization format (for instance, using zigzag encoding for negative numbers, or fixed-length encoding for large values. Compare with another ProtoMemberAttribute for sorting purposes Compare with another ProtoMemberAttribute for sorting purposes Creates a new ProtoMemberAttribute instance. Specifies the unique tag used to identify this member within the type. Gets or sets the original name defined in the .proto; not used during serialization. Gets or sets the data-format to be used when encoding this value. Gets the unique tag used to identify this member within the type. Gets or sets a value indicating whether this member is mandatory. Gets a value indicating whether this member is packed. This option only applies to list/array data of primitive types (int, double, etc). Indicates whether this field should *replace* existing values (the default is false, meaning *append*). This option only applies to list/array data. Enables full object-tracking/full-graph support. Embeds the type information into the stream, allowing usage with types not known in advance. Gets or sets a value indicating whether this member is packed (lists/arrays). Additional (optional) settings that control serialization of members Default; no additional options Indicates that repeated elements should use packed (length-prefixed) encoding Indicates that the given item is required Enables full object-tracking/full-graph support Embeds the type information into the stream, allowing usage with types not known in advance Indicates whether this field should *replace* existing values (the default is false, meaning *append*). This option only applies to list/array data. Determines whether the types AsReferenceDefault value is used, or whether this member's AsReference should be used Declares a member to be used in protocol-buffer serialization, using the given Tag and MemberName. This allows ProtoMemberAttribute usage even for partial classes where the individual members are not under direct control. A DataFormat may be used to optimise the serialization format (for instance, using zigzag encoding for negative numbers, or fixed-length encoding for large values. Creates a new ProtoMemberAttribute instance. Specifies the unique tag used to identify this member within the type. Specifies the member to be serialized. The name of the member to be serialized. A stateful reader, used to read a protobuf stream. Typical usage would be (sequentially) to call ReadFieldHeader and (after matching the field) an appropriate Read* method. Gets the number of the field being processed. Indicates the underlying proto serialization format on the wire. Gets / sets a flag indicating whether strings should be checked for repetition; if true, any repeated UTF-8 byte sequence will result in the same String instance, rather than a second instance of the same string. Disabled by default. Note that this uses a custom interner - the system-wide string interner is not used. Initialize the reader Addition information about this deserialization operation. Addition information about this deserialization operation. Releases resources used by the reader, but importantly does not Dispose the underlying stream; in many typical use-cases the stream is used for different processes, so it is assumed that the consumer will Dispose their stream separately.

Creates a new writer against a stream The model to use for serialization; this can be null, but this will impair the ability to serialize sub-objects Additional context about this serialization operation Whether this initialization should impact usage counters (to check for double-usage) Addition information about this serialization operation. Addition information about this serialization operation. Writes a sub-item to the input writer Writes a sub-item to the input writer Abandon any pending unflushed data Flushes data to the underlying stream, and releases any resources. The underlying stream is *not* disposed by this operation. Get the TypeModel associated with this writer The encoding used by the writer Writes a string to the stream; supported wire-types: String Writes any buffered data (if possible) to the underlying stream. Wwriter state It is not always possible to fully flush, since some sequences may require values to be back-filled into the byte-stream. Writes an unsigned 64-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64 Writes a signed 64-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64, SignedVariant Writes an unsigned 16-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64 Writes a signed 16-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64, SignedVariant Writes an unsigned 16-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64 Writes an unsigned 8-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64 Writes a signed 8-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64, SignedVariant Writes a signed 32-bit integer to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64, SignedVariant Writes a double-precision number to the stream; supported wire-types: Fixed32, Fixed64 Writes a single-precision number to the stream; supported wire-types: Fixed32, Fixed64 Throws an exception indicating that the given enum cannot be mapped to a serialized value. Writes a boolean to the stream; supported wire-types: Variant, Fixed32, Fixed64 Copies any extension data stored for the instance to the underlying stream Used for packed encoding; indicates that the next field should be skipped rather than a field header written. Note that the field number must match, else an exception is thrown when the attempt is made to write the (incorrect) field. The wire-type is taken from the subsequent call to WriteFieldHeader. Only primitive types can be packed. Used for packed encoding; explicitly reset the packed field marker; this is not required if using StartSubItem/EndSubItem Used for packed encoding; writes the length prefix using fixed sizes rather than using buffering. Only valid for fixed-32 and fixed-64 encoding. Buffer size to use when writing; if non-positive, an internal default is used.

Provides a non-null value from the provided storage. For many value-types, this will simply return the input value. For reference-types, the input should be null-coalesced against an empty value such as Array.Empty(). Get the length (in terms of element count) of the provided storage. Access a Memory that is the underlying data held by this storage. Resizes (typically: allocates and copies) the provided storage by the requested additional capacity, returning a memory to *just the additional portion*). The implementor is responsible for ensuring that the old values are copied if necessary. The implementor may choose to recycle the old storage, if appropriate. Provides a memory converter implementation for many common storage kinds. Provides the singleton instance for element type .

This allows tools to understand which members are being accessed during the execution of a program. This attribute is valid on members whose type is or . When this attribute is applied to a location of type , the assumption is that the string represents a fully qualified type name. If the attribute is applied to a method it's treated as a special case and it implies the attribute should be applied to the "this" parameter of the method. As such the attribute should only be used on instance methods of types assignable to System.Type (or string, but no methods will use it there).
