Getting Started

Attributes

To start using FixedWidth, begin by applying attributes to your class and members (fields & properties).

• TextSerializable indicates that a class is serializable.
• TextField indicates that a field or property is serializable.

[TextSerializable]
public class Dog
{

    [TextField(1, 10)]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [TextField(11, 1)]
    public char Sex { get; set; }

    [TextField(12, 3,
        Padding = '0',
        Alignment = TextAlignment.Right)]
    public int Weight { get; set; }

    [TextField(15, 8,
        FormatterType = typeof(DateFormatter))]
    public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }

    [TextField(23, 1,
        FormatterType = typeof(BooleanFormatter))]
    public bool SpayedNeutered { get; set; }

}

// create serializer
var serializer = new TextSerializer<Dog>();

// deserialize string
var deserialized = serializer.Deserialize("Wally     M065201011161");

// serialize object
var serialized = serializer.Serialize(deserialized);
