Syntax

public class Ddi32Serializer : Ddi32Base

Constructors

Ddi32Serializer()

Initializes a new instance of the Ddi32Serializer class.

Declaration

public Ddi32Serializer()

Properties

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to use a concise bounded description for serialization or deserialization.

Declaration

public bool UseConciseBoundedDescription { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool	`true` if a concise bounded description should be used; otherwise, `false`.
