Im trying to send an serialized object over the network and it doesnt work. Im uncertain if it is the sending part och the recieving part that doesnt work but I think it is the sending part.

The code:
C#: 
	public class Server
	{

		private NetworkStream socketStream;
		private BinaryWriter writer;
        private BinaryReader reader;		
		private Thread readThread;
		private Socket connection;
		private int port;

		public Server(int port)
		{
			this.port = port;
			readThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart( RunServer));
			readThread.Start();
		}

		public Server()
		{
		}

		
		public void RunServer()
		{
			TcpListener listener;
			RequestHandler rh = new RequestHandler();
			int counter = 1;

			
			try
			{
				
				IPAddress localaddr = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");
				listener = new TcpListener(localaddr, port);
				string message;

				
				listener.Start();
				Console.WriteLine("Server is running on port " + port);

				
				while(true)
				{
					Console.WriteLine("Waiting for incomming connections..");
					
					
					connection = listener.AcceptSocket();
					Console.WriteLine("Connection recieved from " + connection.RemoteEndPoint.ToString());

					
					socketStream = new NetworkStream(connection);

			
					writer = new BinaryWriter(socketStream);
					reader = new BinaryReader(socketStream);
					Console.WriteLine("Sending welcomming message..");

					
					writer.Write(" SERVER>>> Success ");
				
					while(connection.Connected)
					{
						
						rh.Operation( socketStream);
						
					}
					

					writer.Close();
					reader.Close();	
					socketStream.Close();

					
				}
			}

What Im trying to do is sending "socketStream" to another method in another class that serialize the object and send it using socketStream. Can I do so?

The recieve part look like this:
C#: 
Customer cust = new Customer();
NetworkStream output;
output = client.GetStream();				
cust = (Customer)(bf.Deserialize(output));

I get a null value on cust.

The network communication works fine, I can send and recieve strings.
