PrepareSerializer call without generic classes

I am using reflection to find all classes in my project that inherit from Packet.Base

Each of these classes has ProtoBuf attributes.

I just experienced Protobuf.net Exception - Timeout while validating the metadata of my project and want to implement PrepareSerializer without having to go through and add all the different class types in there.

Is there an easy way that I can dynamically prepare classes given that I have a type from reflection without the need to call

ProtoBuf.Serializer.PrepareSerializer(Of Instruction)()
ProtoBuf.Serializer.PrepareSerializer(Of NoOperation)()

      

        
        
        
      

    

or adding

Public MustOverride Sub Prepare()

      

        
        
        
      

    

base class and then in each class

Public Overrides Sub Prepare()
    Serializer.PrepareSerializer(Of TimeSynchronise)()
End Sub

      

        
        
        
      

    

This is the loading mechanism I'm using, a pretty simple reflection load.

Public Class CompatiblePackets
    Inherits Dictionary(Of Packet.PacketType, Base)

    Public Sub New()
        Dim theAssembly As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
        For Each t As Type In theAssembly.GetTypes
            If t.BaseType Is GetType(Base) Then
                Dim p As Base = CType(t.Assembly.CreateInstance(t.FullName), Base)
                Me.Add(p.PacketTypeIndicator, p)
                End Try
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

    public sub Prepare
        ProtoBuf.Serializer.PrepareSerializer(t)()
    end sub
