Deserialization

The table below shows the type conversions from the received ActionScript type to .NET type

ActionScript Type AS2/AMF0	ActionScript Type AS3/AMF3	.NET Type
undefined/null	undefined/null	null
Number	Number	Byte, SByte, UInt16, Int16, UInt32, Int32, UInt64, Int64, Decimal, Single, Double Enum
---	int	Byte, SByte, UInt16, Int16, UInt32, Int32, UInt64, Int64, Decimal, Single, Double Enum
Boolean	Boolean	System.Boolean
Date	Date	System.DateTime
String	String	String Char Guid Enum
XML	XML	System.Xml.XmlDocument
Array	Array	Array IList System.Collections.ArrayList
Associative Array	Associative Array	System.Collections.Hashtable
---	mx.collections.ArrayCollection	FluorineFx.AMF3.ArrayCollection
---	flash.utils.ByteArray	byte[] FluorineFx.AMF3.ByteArray
Object	Object	FluorineFx.ASObject (Hashtable) .NET typed object with a constructor that takes no parameters

Note: additionally if a TypeConverter is available it can further adapt the received value
