Dictionary<string,List<T>> serialize error

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. when I serialize a type Dictionary<string,List<T>> it throw a error.
2. TupleSerializer.cs line : 44
3. "No serializer defined for type: Namespace.Model.ModelClass (with 
serializable and datacontract attributes)

T is a very sample class here :
    [Serializable,DataContract]
    public class ReviewTopic
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public string Title { get; set; }
    }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win7 64x ,protobuf-net V 2.0.0.651,protobuf-net.Enyim v1.0.0.0

The error message talks about ModelClass, but the question talks about 
ReviewTopic - can you clarify?

No modelClass here(just for example), I have modify the ReviewTopic below, the 
exception gone ,But when I deserialize from memcache use the ProtoTranscoder, I 
got the values Dictionary<string,List<ReviewTopic>> data, the List<ReviewTopic> 
in dictionary has value ,but every ReviewTopic 's Property is empty .

    [Serializable,DataContract]
    public class ReviewTopic
    {
        [DataMember(Name="id")]
        public int Id { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "title")]
        public string Title { get; set; }
    }

When I save the Dictionary<string,List<ReviewTopic>> data to memcache, Every 
ReviewTopic property has value .

Indeed; if using the DataMember attributes you need to use the Order to control 
serialization:

        [DataMember(Name="id", Order=1)]
        public int Id { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "title", Order=2)]
        public string Title { get; set; }

protocol buffers is numbers-based, not name-based.

thanks a ton ,it work,by the way , what 's best practice to use the 
Serializable,DataContract,ProtoContract for protobuff serialization, and need I 
mark all used property of a serializable class ?

I have some class which didn't have this problem ,it wase only marked as 
[Serializable].

as you say 'protocol buffers is numbers-based, not name-based.', why my other 
class worked correctly ?


    [Serializable]
    public class Impression
    {

        public int Id { get; set; }


        public int SerialId { get; set; }


        public string Keywords { get; set; }


        public int Vote { get; set; }


        public string Guid { get; set; }
    }

this class when serialize with protobuff don't has exception ? so what 's the 
correct way to use it ?

protobuf-net won't serialize that class *at all*; most likely that is working 
because it is using some other serializer implementation - presumably 
defaulting to BinaryFormatter for things that clearly aren't usable. Note, 
protobuf-net also doesn't care whether or not something is marked 
[Serializable] - it doesn't check for that and doesn't require that.
