Is C# .NET Serializer Atomic?
Straight forward question. If CPU crashes during serialization, will the file be corrupted?
Example of .NET Serialization C#:
public bool TrySerializeToXML<T>(String FilePath, T t, XmlAttributeOverrides XmlAttributeOverrides = null)
{
lock (SerializationLock)
{
XmlSerializer Serializer = null;
try
{
if (XmlAttributeOverrides == null) Serializer = new XmlSerializer(t.GetType());
else Serializer = new XmlSerializer(t.GetType(), XmlAttributeOverrides);
using (TextWriter TextWriter = new StreamWriter(FilePath))
{
Serializer.Serialize(TextWriter, t);
}
}
catch
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
}

The CPU never crashes, it merely tells you what you did wrong when you use C#. Use C++ if you favor an undiagnosable crash that nobody can help you with.

Thanks for the reply. Yes i understand... jeez.. common sense. I mean anything that happens during the operation will it cause the written file to be corrupted? or partially written

That was a lot funnier then I intended it to be, sorry. My wife give me funny looks. I ought to be more helpful: use transactional saves. First save to a file with a temporary name. If nothing went wrong then rename it to the file it should be. The File.Replace() overload with three arguments is important to get this right.

XmlSerializerworks on a streamThat stream in this case is a
FileStreamA
FileStreamworks on a flushable Buffer (of default 4k), meaning when the buffer reaches its max it will flush it to disk
If application crashes or serialisation error happens during serialisation you are likely to have no (or only partial data) flushed to disk
Also Atomic is debatably the wrong word to use here, either way it definitely is'nt Atomic
