Я создал версию принятого ответа, которая работает как с [Serializable], так и с [DataContract]. Прошло много времени с тех пор, как я написал это, но если я правильно помню, [DataContract] нуждался в другом сериализаторе.
Требуется Система, System.IO, System.Runtime.Serialization, System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary, System.Xml ;
