I’m translating some code from the DataContractSerializer to the impressive protobuf-net serializer, and one thing that I’m really missing is the StreamingContext passed through to my OnDeserializing methods. I’d really like to find a way to pass a bit of context information through to some of my objects during their deserialization.

My question: is this usage pattern supported in protobuf-net? I haven’t found an equivalent so far in my investigation of its APIs, but I’m not very familiar with its design so may have overlooked something.

    The signature with a StreamingContext is supported, but it does not currently include the .Context (it currently just announces StreamingContextStates.Persistence with .Context = null), if that is what you mean.I could support that by adding an overload to the serialize/deserialize methods – presumably that would solve it?

    If so, please log a feature request on the project site. Since it already supports StreamingContext in this scenario, it doesn’t sound hard.
