System.Runtime.Serialization

Kind: Service

Source: Pams/Data/Pams.Data/Pams.Data.csproj (line 1)

Part of: Pams

NuGet package dependency

System.Runtime.Serialization is a NuGet package dependency declared by Pams.Data.csproj. It lets Pams.Data reference .NET serialization APIs when code reads or writes legacy serialized data.

Usage

ts
import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";
import { readFileSync } from "node:fs";
import { resolve } from "node:path";

const projectPath = resolve("Pams/Data/Pams.Data/Pams.Data.csproj");
const projectFile = readFileSync(projectPath, "utf8");

if (!projectFile.includes('System.Runtime.Serialization')) {
  throw new Error(
    "Pams.Data.csproj must reference System.Runtime.Serialization.",
  );
}

execFileSync("dotnet", ["build", projectPath], {
  stdio: "inherit",
});

AI Coding Instructions

• Keep the System.Runtime.Serialization package reference in Pams.Data.csproj when editing code that depends on serialization APIs.
• Check existing serialization and deserialization paths before changing data contracts or serialized types.
• Treat serialized legacy data as a compatibility boundary; avoid changing formats without validating existing stored payloads.
• Restore and build the Pams.Data project after package or project-file changes.
