C# in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

SerializableAttribute

Synopsis

This attribute is used in the class definition to indicate that a class can be serialized. By default, all fields in the class are serialized except for the fields that are marked with a NonSerializedAttribute.

It is not necessary to use this attribute if a given type implements the System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable interface, which indicates that a class provides its own methods for serialization.

public sealed class SerializableAttribute : Attribute {
// Public Constructors
   public SerializableAttribute( );
}
