Maps an instance of a Object that has the SerializableAttribute to a Binary column.

Namespace: NHibernate.Type
Assembly: NHibernate (in NHibernate.dll) Version: 3.2.0.4000 (3.2.0.4000)

Syntax

C#
[SerializableAttribute]
public class SerializableType : MutableType
Visual Basic
<SerializableAttribute> _
Public Class SerializableType _
	Inherits MutableType
Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute]
public ref class SerializableType : public MutableType

Remarks

For performance reasons, the SerializableType should be used when you know that Bytes are not going to be greater than 8,000. Implementing a custom type is recommended for larger types.

The base class is MutableType because the data is stored in a byte[]. The System.Array does not have a nice "equals" method so we must do a custom implementation.
