Does [Serializable] atribute work in Compact Framework

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I am thinking of saving files in binary format on the Pocket PC. When
I use the [Serializable] attribute I get error in Compact Framework. Do I
have to use the [Serializable] attribute to make a class serializable? Also
if I choose to use XMLSerialization do I use the [Serializable] attribute?
Finally, can I save a file in an application built for Pocket PC in a binary
format?

Thank you,
