BinaryFormatter.Deserialize() method does not work in an AutoCAD plugin

Question

When I call the Deserialize method on an instance of System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter in IExtensionApplication.Initialize of an AutoCAD plugin, the next code line after that does not execute. What could be causing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

You need to show some code, but in all likely hood the Deserialize call is throwing an exception and therefore the next line of code is not being executed. Use a try/catch block around the Deserialize to see if you can catch an exception and view/log the exception details that might point you to the root of the problem.
