RemoteJob, Serialize & Deserialize -Response

Hello

So I have been trying to create my own Ensure Operations.

However, I can't get my Remote Jobs to functions correctly, the Serialize and Deserialize -Response command does not seem to do what I want.

Right now I get the following error from my code: "Unable to get type from: " its a response I wrote my self, if the first string returned from the BinaryWriter does not yield a type. https://github.com/NsdWorkBook/Otter-Extensions/blob/master/WorkBook.Otter.Extensions.SQLExtensions/Shared/Jobs/SerializingRemoteJob.cs#L54-L86

Could you help me figure out why its not working?

For testing purposes, it would most likely be easiest to use this operation as your entry point into the RemoteJob.
I still haven't gotten the Output to work, but its WIP: https://github.com/NsdWorkBook/Otter-Extensions/blob/master/WorkBook.Otter.Extensions.SQLExtensions/Operations/ScalarQueryOperation.cs

It looks like you probably mean to use an assembly-qualified name instead of the .Name property on line 68:

So it probably should be something like:

writer.Write(resultType.FullName + "," + resultType.Assembly.GetName().Name);

That would generally be the minimum information you'd need to get the type with Type.GetType.

That said, as you've discovered, RemoteJob is a pretty low-level interface, meant to give complete control over any over-the-wire serialization. You may want to look at the RemoteEnsureOperation as a base class to use instead, which handles the RemoteJob details internally - you just add the [SlimSerializable] attribute to properties that you want to be serialized and it takes care of the rest.

You also may find the SlimBinaryFormatter class useful - it is the class that RemoteEnsureOperation uses to perform its serialization.

Hope this helps!
