20.16. Serializing Objects Using the BinaryFormatter

You can use the BinaryFormatter type to illustrate how easy it is to persist an instance of the JamesBondCar to a physical file. Again, the two key methods of the BinaryFormatter type to be aware of are Serialize() and Deserialize():

• Serialize(): Persists an object graph to a specified stream as a sequence of bytes.

• Deserialize(): Converts a persisted sequence of bytes to an object graph.
