Serialize to an In-Memory Stream

Problem : You need to serialize data to a buffer in memory, rather than a network stream or file.

Solution: The preceding serialization example did this, but I’ll cover it in this section as well.

Serialize Objects Using SerializableAttribute

byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bytes))
{
    //write to stream using any method you like that accepts a stream
}
//manipulate the bytes however you want, including converting them to
//text using the Encoding class if the data is textual
