Hour 24

1:	How can you determine at runtime whether an object is serializable? (Hint: Look at the Type class.)
A1:	You can call the IsSerializable function provided by the Type class.
2:	If you don't want to apply the NonSerializable attribute to several data members, how would you ensure that those values will not be serialized?
A2:	Use custom serialization instead of selective serialization.
3:	Explain what happens when you serialize an object, add or remove a member variable to that object, and then attempt to deserialize it?
A3:	An exception will be thrown because the signature of that object has changed and cannot be deserialized properly.
