Serializing / deserializing binary data

from System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary import BinaryFormatter
from Spotfire.Dxp.Data import BinaryLargeObject
from System.IO import MemoryStream
# serialization

l = ['dog','cat']
s =  MemoryStream()
try:
bf = BinaryFormatter()
bf.Serialize(s,l)

# moving to position 0 of stream, as BinaryLargeObject will try to read from it
s.Position = 0
data = BinaryLargeObject.Create(s)

Document.Properties['SeriallizedList'] = data
finally:
s.Dispose()

# deserialization (separate script, copy imports)
stream2 = Document.Properties['SeriallizedList'].GetByteStream()
bf2 = BinaryFormatter()

l2 = bf2.Deserialize(stream2)

for item in l2:
print item
