Serialize arbitrary object graphs to a stream in C# with BinarySerializer, which needs no attributes or registrations and preserves derived types, shared references and cycles. Covers how it assembles serializers per call, what it writes to the stream, and how it differs from the removed BinaryFormatter.

Control a binary layout in C# with SerializerBuilder member bindings and a hand-written ConstantSizeItemSerializerBase serializer, then register it in a SerializerFactory so automatic assembly uses it.

Serialize a SerializerFactory with SerializerFactorySerializer so that stored binary data carries its own type codes and member layouts, and rebuild the reader factory from those bytes.
