Abstract class deserialization

[cHullaert]

Hi,

thanks for the project, here is my code to redefine the converter for an abstract class.

`public class PayloadConverter: fsDirectConverter {
protected override fsResult DoSerialize(Payload model, Dictionary<string, fsData> serialized) {
serialized.Add("type", new fsData("add"));

    return fsResult.Success;
}

protected override fsResult DoDeserialize(Dictionary<string, fsData> data, ref Payload model) {                
    return fsResult.Success;
}

public override object CreateInstance(fsData data, Type storageType) {
    Payload payload=null;

    string payloadType=data.AsDictionary["type"].AsString;
    switch(payloadType) {
        case "add": 
            payload=new AddObjectPayload();
            break;
        case "move": 
            payload=new MoveObjectPayload();
            break;
    } 
      
    return payload;
}

}`

Just missing the "standard" code for serialization / deserialiation of my object based on its reference without inistantiate it. Have I to duplicate all code or maybe there is a magic function to do this?

Thanks a lot.

I've also found something with $type but then I don't know how to register the type.
