Type::IsSerializable Property

 

Gets a value indicating whether the Type is serializable.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
property bool IsSerializable {
	virtual bool get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the Type is serializable; otherwise, false.

If 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 namespace System;
public ref class MyClass
{
public:

   // Declare a public class with the [Serializable] attribute.

   [Serializable]
   ref class MyTestClass{};


};

int main()
{
   try
   {
      bool myBool = false;
      MyClass::MyTestClass^ myTestClassInstance = gcnew MyClass::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 );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "\nAn exception occurred: {0}", e->Message );
   }

}
