How to unit test if my object is really serializable?

Question

I am using C# 2.0 with Nunit Test. I have some object that needs to be serialized. These objects are quite complex (inheritance at different levels and contains a lot of obj

Answer 1

I have this in some unit test here at job:

MyComplexObject dto = new MyComplexObject();
MemoryStream mem = new MemoryStream();
BinaryFormatter b = new BinaryFormatter();
try
{
    b.Serialize(mem, dto);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Assert.Fail(ex.Message);
}

Might help you... maybe other method can be better but this one works well.
