| The .NET `IDataSerializable` interface provides fast and compact data serialization. |
| |
| <%=vars.product_name%> .NET Data serialization consumes fewer bytes in overhead than <%=vars.product_name%> .NET PDX serialization, |
| but incurs higher performance costs of deserialization when performing queries. |
| |
| - **[How Serialization Works with IDataSerializable](how-igfserializable-works.html)** |
| |
| When your application puts an object into the cache for distribution, <%=vars.product_name%> serializes the data by taking these steps. |
| |
| - **[Implement the IDataSerializable Interface](implementing-igfserializable.html)** |
| |
| To store your own data types in the cache, you implement the <%=vars.product_name%> `IDataSerializable` interface. |
| |
| - **[Register the Type](registering-the-type.html)** |
| |
| To use the `BankAccount` type, you must register it with the type system. Then, when an incoming stream contains a `BankAccount`, it can be manufactured from the associated `TypeFactoryMethod.` |
| |
| - **[Using a Custom Class With IDataSerializable](custom-class-igfserializable.html)** |
| |
| An example shows how to use the BankAccount custom key type and the AccountHistory value type that were previously defined. |
