Type.IsSerializable Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets a value indicating whether the Type is serializable.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Implements
_Type.IsSerializableIf the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property applies to the generic type definition from which the type was constructed. For example, if the current Type represents MyGenericType<int> (MyGenericType(Of Integer) in Visual Basic), the value of this property is determined by MyGenericType<T>.
If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this property always returns false.
The following example creates an instance of MyTestClass class, sets the [Serializable] attribute, and checks the IsSerializable property for true or false.
using System; namespace SystemType { public class MyClass { // Declare a public class with the [Serializable] attribute. [Serializable] public class MyTestClass { } public static void Main(string []args) { try { bool myBool = false; MyTestClass myTestClassInstance = new MyTestClass(); // Get the type of myTestClassInstance. Type myType = myTestClassInstance.GetType(); // Get the IsSerializable property of myTestClassInstance. myBool = myType.IsSerializable; Console.WriteLine("\nIs {0} serializable? {1}.", myType.FullName, myBool.ToString()); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("\nAn exception occurred: {0}", e.Message); } } } }
