use BranchIfTrue / BranchIfFalse.

<member name="M:ProtoBuf.Compiler.CompilerContext.UsingBlock.#ctor(ProtoBuf.Compiler.CompilerContext,ProtoBuf.Compiler.Local)">
<summary>
Creates a new "using" block (equivalent) around a variable;
the variable must exist, and note that (unlike in C#) it is
the variables *final* value that gets disposed. If you need
*original* disposal, copy your variable first.
It is the callers responsibility to ensure that the variable's
scope fully-encapsulates the "using"; if not, the variable
may be re-used (and thus re-assigned) unexpectedly.

Sub-format to use when serializing/deserializing data

<member name="F:ProtoBuf.DataFormat.Default">
<summary>
Uses the default encoding for the data-type.
</summary>
</member>
<member name="F:ProtoBuf.DataFormat.ZigZag">
<summary>
When applied to signed integer-based data (including Decimal), this
indicates that zigzag variant encoding will be used. This means that values
with small magnitude (regardless of sign) take a small amount
of space to encode.

<summary>

This is the more "complete" version of Deserialize, which handles single instances of mapped types.
The value is read as a complete field, including field-header and (for sub-objects) a
length-prefix..kmc
