Steps to reproduce
- Change the runtime.config file to let the app run against with dotnet-sdk-9.0.100-preview.6.24325.8.

"version": "9.0.0-preview.6.24321.8"
},
{
"name": "Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App",

- Turn on EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization switch in runtime.config file:
"configProperties": {
"System.Reflection.Metadata.MetadataUpdater.IsSupported": false,
"System.Runtime.Serialization.EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization": true
}
- Launch mRemoteNG.exe.
Expected Result: Launch successfully.

Inner Exception when debugging code:
PlatformNotSupportedException: BinaryFormatter serialization and deserialization have been removed. See https://aka.ms/binaryformatter for more information.
Known Workarounds No. Tried the following steps:
- Turn on the AppContext Switch like
<EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization>true</EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization> - Install the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters nuget package (Failed. Because it is not compatible with this .NET 6.0 App. The supported .NET version of System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters nuget package is .NET 8)
@dotnet-actwx-bot @dotnet/compat
Application needs to add <EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization>True</EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization> and/or BrightIdeasSoftware.ObjectListView will need to be updated to use a different form of serialization or add a typeconverter.
Update for the workaround: It works well with the public Nuget package for the application. Closing this issue. We will file an new issue to notify the app owner about this change.
