In response to my article on Custom Binary Serialization in .NET, a visitor asked me for a specific example of a custom serialization class of .NET’s MailMessage class.
As I mentioned in the article, I struggled with the MailMessage and MailAddress class because they cannot be serialized unless you use custom serialization (which can be a big pain because it takes quite a bit of time to create a custom class). I spent days trying to serialize the MailMessage class using conventional methods, only to find that there is no quick workaround for it other than custom serialization.
