How to serialize non-static child class of static class

Question

I want to serialize a pretty ordinary class, but the catch is it\'s nested in a static class like this:

public static class StaticClass
{
    [Serializable]
         


        

Answer 1

As a pragmatic workaround - don't mark the nesting type static:

public class ContainerClass
{
    private ContainerClass() { // hide the public ctor
        throw new InvalidOperationException("no you don't");
    }

    public class SomeType
    {
        ...
    }
}
