## SoapFormatter cannot deserialize Hashtable and similar ordered collection objects ### Scope Minor ### Version Introduced 4.5 ### Source Analyzer Status Available ### Change Description The does not guarantee that objects serialized under one .NET Framework version will successfully deserialize under a different version. Specifically, some ordered collections (like ) added members between 4.0 and 4.5 such that objects of these types cannot deserialize with .NET 4.0 if they were serialzied with .NET 4.5. Note that if the serialized data is both serialized and deserialized with the same .NET Framework version, no issue will occur. - [ ] Quirked - [ ] Build-time break ### Recommended Action serialization should be replaced with serialization or to be resilient to .NET Framework changes. ### Affected APIs * `M:System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter.Serialize(System.IO.Stream,System.Object)` * `M:System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter.Serialize(System.IO.Stream,System.Object,System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.Header[])` * `M:System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter.Deserialize(System.IO.Stream)` * `M:System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter.Deserialize(System.IO.Stream,System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.HeaderHandler)` ### Category Serialization
