In order for a class to be serializable, it must have the Serializable Attribute set and all its members must also be serializable, except if they are ignored with the attribute NonSerializedAttribute. However, the private and public members of a class are always serialized by default. The SerializationAttribute is only used for the binary serialization. The code snippet below shows the usage of SerializableAttribute.

[Serializable]
public class Employee
{
public int empCode;
public string empName;
}
The SerializableAttribute is useful for situations where the object has to be transported to other application domains. It needs to be applied even irrespective of whether the class implements the ISerializable interface. If this attribute is not set in that case, then when we try to serialize an object the CLR throws a SerializationException.
