== Why is this an issue?

Serialization event handlers that don't have the correct signature will simply not be called, thus bypassing any attempts to augment the automated de/serialization.


This rule raises an issue when a method marked with one of the following attributes is ``++public++``, ``++static++``, does not return ``++void++``, has type parameters, or does not have a single parameter of type ``++System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext++``:

* ``++System.Runtime.Serialization.OnSerializingAttribute++``
* ``++System.Runtime.Serialization.OnSerializedAttribute++``
* ``++System.Runtime.Serialization.OnDeserializingAttribute++``
* ``++System.Runtime.Serialization.OnDeserializedAttribute++``


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,csharp]
----
[Serializable]
public class Foo
{
    [OnSerializing]
    public void OnSerializing(StreamingContext context) {} // Noncompliant should be private

    [OnSerialized]
    int OnSerialized(StreamingContext context) {} // Noncompliant should return void

    [OnDeserializing]
    void OnDeserializing() {} // Noncompliant should have a single parameter of type StreamingContext

    [OnSerializing]
    public void OnSerializing2<T>(StreamingContext context) {} // Noncompliant should have no type parameters

    [OnDeserialized]
    void OnDeserialized(StreamingContext context, string str) {} // Noncompliant should have a single parameter of type StreamingContext
}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,csharp]
----
[Serializable]
public class Foo
{
    [OnSerializing]
    private void OnSerializing(StreamingContext context) {}

    [OnSerialized]
    private void OnSerialized(StreamingContext context) {}

    [OnDeserializing]
    private void OnDeserializing(StreamingContext context) {}

    [OnDeserialized]
    private void OnDeserialized(StreamingContext context) {}
}
