How to tell if a class is Serialized
Hello Experts,
I am maintaining some C# and VB.net code. I know that by default classes and members are non-serializable; that they can be made serializeable by adding the SerializableAttribute.
I also know that if class B inherits from a serialized class, "class A", that class B is not serialized by default. So here is my question. Is there a way in C# or VB.net to prove that a class is currently not serialized?

Migquel read this article. By default they are not serialized, you have to place an attribute on them to declare them as serializedL

Marking a class as "serializable" does nothing to the class itself.
