Indicates that a class can be serialized using binary or XML serialization. This class cannot be inherited.

public ref class SerializableAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Delegate | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class SerializableAttribute : Attribute

Examples

The following example demonstrates SOAP serialization of an object that's marked with the SerializableAttribute attribute.

   String^ member2;
   String^ member3;
   double member4;

public:

   // A field that is not serialized.

   [NonSerialized]
   String^ member5;
   TestSimpleObject()
   {
      member1 = 11;
      member2 = "hello";
      member3 = "hello";
      member4 = 3.14159265;

Remarks

Apply the SerializableAttribute attribute to a type to indicate that instances of this type can be serialized using binary or XML serialization. The common language runtime throws SerializationException if any type in the graph of objects being serialized does not have the SerializableAttribute attribute applied.

Apply the SerializableAttribute attribute even if the class also implements the ISerializable interface to control the binary serialization process.

When you apply the SerializableAttribute attribute to a type, all private and public fields are serialized by default. You can control binary serialization more granularly by implementing the ISerializable interface to override the serialization process.

Or you can exclude fields from serialization by applying the NonSerializedAttribute attribute to the field. If a field of a binary-serializable type contains a pointer, a handle, or some other data structure that is specific to a particular environment, and cannot be meaningfully reconstituted in a different environment, then you might want to apply the NonSerializedAttribute attribute to that field.

For more information about using attributes, see Attributes. For more information about binary serialization, see System.Runtime.Serialization.

Note

This attribute does not apply to JSON serialization using System.Text.Json.
