C# Serialization

[adriansuciu09]

I was wondering if there are any plans to add serialization for C# to be able to generate read-write classes like for Python and Java (source: https://doc.kaitai.io/serialization.html)

@zachwolfe should have already done that, but to my knowledge it hasn't been reviewed or integrated to the official testing suite like Java and Python, so I don't have any comprehensive measure of how well it works with different .ksy specs. I believe it should work mostly fine, though.

Ok, i tried it using versio. 0.9, since in the documentation it said that version 0.10 is missing the serialization

i will try it with your link
