Great! It's a little hard to send information using binaryformatter with my poor knowledge through streams that use TCP. An xml will be easier, are you aware if xml readers/writers work in unity mobile too? Thanks a lot man =)

No binary formatter is dead easy - like this to create a compressed string:

  var m = new MemoryStream();
  var b = new BinaryFormatter();
  b.Serialize(m, yourObject);
  var s = Convert.ToBase64String(b.GetBuffer());

Like this to decompress it:

  var m = new MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(dataYouReceived));
  var b = new BinaryFormatter();
  var o = (YourObject)b.Deserialize(m);

You'll need http://System.IO and System.Runtime.Serialization.Binary I think.

I tried using binaryformatter and memorystream before and I failed due to an exception telling me that the data was not the type it expected... but....

You've got to be kidding me, I can send ANY OBJECT in form of a string this way??

Say, if I send with Serialize an object of type foo, I can deserialize it with var o = (foo)b.Deserialize(memoryStream)?

If that's the case I love you =P. I'll try it now.

Yes you can do that if it is a serializable object or you do the dance of making the custom stuff if it is more complex.

This works flawlessly. Thanks a ton!! I will now have to make a kind of header telling the server what kind of object I'm sending so I can do the typecast correctly, because this works only if you know the type of the object you're receiving =).

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it!
