Is there a tool for viewing files created using binary serialization?

Question

I work without problems serializing object graphs to and from files. Everything was fine until today: a dictionary created in the designer and NEVER deleted was lost (zero referee) immediately after deserialization from the file, for the first time in more than a year, doing the same without problems.

So, is there a software tool for searching in binary serialized content showing the version readable by the person / developer (a la Reflector) of what is stored?

AKA: how to analyze (without binary binaries IL. It takes months) binary serialized content?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try Notepad ++

I have a bin / Hex function - and it can use UTF-8

This is good because you can see the actual sequences for UTF-8 - also specification bytes

I know this is not a binary file, but it shows the source content - in a different way ...
