Description

Converts a symbolic text representation of an object into the binary version that is used to save the object to files or memory streams.

Call ObjectTextToBinary to create the internal representation of a component from a symbolic text representation. ObjectTextToBinary creates a TWriter object for the Output stream, and uses this to write the form file representation of the object from the symbolic representation that is read from the Input stream. OriginalFormat indicates whether the output stream stores the object in binary or text format.

Use the ReadComponent method of the output stream to obtain the actual object.
