No map for object

[Steve]

Hello all,
I have some code:

Public Shared Function DeserializeMess age(ByVal stream As Byte(), ByRef obj
As Object) As Boolean

Try
Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream(st ream)
Dim bf As BinaryFormatter = New BinaryFormatter
ms.Position = 0
bf.Binder = New MessageBinder
bf.Binder.BindT oType([Assembly].GetExecutingAs sembly().FullNa me,
"AlertMessa ge")
obj = bf.Deserialize( ms)
Return True
Catch exp As System.Runtime. Serialization.S erializationExc eption
Debug.WriteLine (String.Format( "Exception in DeserializeMess age, {0}",
exp.ToString))
Return False
End Try
End Function

When I attempt to deserialize (obj = bf.Deserialize( ms), I receive the
No map for object 201326592
error. How can I determine what object this is? I suspect it is the
AlertMessage, which is a class of my own design. What can I do to resolve
this error?

Thanks,
Steven
