Is there an OnDeserializing/OnDeserialized equivalent for ServiceStack's TypeSerializer?

I want to switch some code from using .NET's DataContractSerializer to using ServiceStack's TypeSerializer for the increased speed benefits. Unfortunately, the code I inherited relies rather heavily on OnSerializing/OnSerialized/OnDeserializing/OnDeserialized, which ServiceStack appears not to call. Am I missing something? Assuming not, is there a good way to abuse things to fake out the intended functionality? OnSerialized/OnDeserialized can be roughly approximated through reflection, but I'm at a loss for OnSerializing and OnDeserializing.

Solution

  • No, there is no such facility; you'd have to fork ServiceStack or jacket the serialization/deserialization yourself with appropriate calls.
