TROStreamSerializer

Overview

The TROStreamSerializer class is used for serializing/deserializing any type of data for streaming (memory stream as default).
Any WriteXXXX method has a symmetrical ReadXXXX method, so you can easily write and read any objects to the stream.
This class is also used by the TROBinMessage class for serializing/deserializing data.
