ISerializable?

[bpayne111]

i have a clas which inherits from CollectionBase.
Ive made it Serializable. and clone it by using serialization
Ive noticed the ISerializable interface lurking around in .NET
my question is what is this implentation for?
When should i use this implentation and would my collection base be a good time for this implementation?

thanks

Allows an object to control its own serialization and deserialization.

You would probably use it when you want to serialize your object differently than the way an object like the BinaryFormatter would. So far, just adding the [Serializable] tag and letting the runtime handle it has been more than enough for my needs.
