[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets a value indicating whether the Type is serializable.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property IsSerializable As Boolean
public virtual bool IsSerializable { get; }
Property Value
Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the Type is serializable; otherwise, false.
Remarks
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.
Examples
The following example creates an instance of MyTestClass class, sets the [Serializable] attribute, and checks the IsSerializable property for true or false.
