Photon v3 - array of objects

quarion · October 2011

Hi.
Dos the v3 version supports sending array of objects of my own class as operation response parameters? Its not working for me, so i am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or its not supported.

My code:

    public class GetBoardResponse
    {
        &#91;DataMember(Code = (byte)CatanParameterKey.cellsArray, IsOptional = false)&#93;
        //public Cell&#91;,&#93; cellArray { get; set; }
        public bool test { get; set; }

        &#91;DataMember(Code = (byte)CatanParameterKey.edgeArray, IsOptional = false)&#93;
        public Edge&#91;&#93; edgeArray { get; set; }
    }

void handleGetBoardOperation(LitePeer peer, GetBoardRequest getBoardRequest, SendParameters sendParameters)
       {
           var getBoardResponse = new GetBoardResponse { test = true, edgeArray = new Edge&#91;10&#93; };
           peer.SendOperationResponse(new OperationResponse(getBoardRequest.OperationRequest.OperationCode, getBoardResponse), sendParameters);
       }

it supports object arrays, yes - meaning that an object[] can contain objects of different types like string, int etc - this includes just the supported types. For custom types like "Edge" you need to register a custom serializer with method Protocol.TryRegisterCustomType.

Thank for the answer. Support is really great on this forums

For anyone interested - I used BinaryFormatter to serialise my data on the server and de-serialise it on the client.
Example how to use it is here:

It is even working with multi-dimensional arrays (and probably other data structures) of objects of your custom classes.
