In C# Serialization I need to Serialize Object that references object in other DLL without source code

I need to Serialize Object that have another object as a field.

The problem is that this object being referenced is from another DLL that I don't have the code for it. Therefore, I can't add the [Serializable] attribute to it.

Any suggestions on how o开发者_高级运维 do it? I was thinking to create my own Serializer class, is there another way?

As far as I can tell, a custom serializer seems to be the appropriate approach.

Use a reflector to reconstruct the code and add the serializable tag to it.

You could use a SerializeSurrogate, see codeproject for more information.
