protobuf Error when converting List<> to stream: No serializer for type-CodePudding

I'm trying to do something that I think should be simple: Convert a List<object> into a stream.

using ProtoBuf;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{

    class MyObject
    {
        public string Prop1 { get; set; }
        public string Prop2 { get; set; }
        public string Prop3 { get; set; }
    }


    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<MyObject> myObjects = new();
            myObjects.Add(new() { Prop1 = "foo1", Prop2 = "bar1", Prop3 = "something1" });
            myObjects.Add(new() { Prop1 = "foo2", Prop2 = "bar2", Prop3 = "something2" });
            myObjects.Add(new() { Prop1 = "foo3", Prop2 = "bar3", Prop3 = "something3" });

            using var stream = new MemoryStream();

            Serializer.Serialize(stream, myObjects); // Error is here

            byte[] bytes = stream.ToArray();
        }
    }
}

This is the error:

System.InvalidOperationException HResult=0x80131509 Message=No serializer for type ConsoleApp1.MyObject is available for model (default) Source=protobuf-net.Core

CodePudding user response：

You have to add ProtoContract to your class like this:

[ProtoContract]
class MyObject
{
    [ProtoMember(1)]
    public string Prop1 { get; set; }
    [ProtoMember(2)]
    public string Prop2 { get; set; }
    [ProtoMember(3)]
    public string Prop3 { get; set; }
}
