Represents the structured data unit that can be transferred over wire.

Namespace: DotNext.IO
Assembly: DotNext.IO.dll
Syntax
public interface IDataTransferObject
Remarks

Typically, this interface is used for variable-length data units while IBinaryFormattable<TSelf> can be used for simple fixed-length structures.
