How to serialize named tuples (C#)?

MikeOne · April 20

Hi,

is there a best prectise how to work with named tuples in C#?

What would be the best way to serialize such a named tuple construct using ice/slice2cs:

List<(string Key, int Benchmark, List<(DateTime Date, int Count)>)>

Any help would me much appreciated.

Kind regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

Ice cannot directly send your named tuples, you have to use types defined in Slice, here you can probably use a couple of structs and sequences like in:

struct BenchmarkCount
{
    long Data; // Send date as a long
    int Count;
}

sequence<BenchmarkCount> BenchmarkCountSeq; 

struct BenchmarkInfo
{
    string Key;
    int Benchmark;
    BenchmarkCountSeq Counters;
}

sequence<BenchmarkInfo> BenchmarkInfoSeq;
