Enforcing serializable from an interface without forcing classes to custom serialize in C#

Question

I have an interface that defines some methods I would like certain classes to implement.

public interface IMyInterface
{
    MethodA;
    MethodB;
}

Answer 1

There does not seem to be a way to do this, but I wish there were.

Note two things though:

• The Serializable attribute can not be inherited from a base class, even if the base class is marked as abstract.

• You don't technically need the Serializable attribute, IF you are using an XmlSerializer because it does not make use of object graphs.
