Why BinaryFormatter silently breaks process?

Question

I'm trying to serialize object with following procedure:

    public static byte[] ObjectToByteArray(Object obj) {
        if (obj == null)
            return null;
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) {
            BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
            bf.Serialize(ms, obj);
            return ms.ToArray();
        }
    }

I've got break point on bf.Serialize(ms, obj); and I can check that my object is fine there but when I go to the next step it just breaks operation without any errors or saying anything. I even don't know how should I debug it for now. Any ideas?

Answer 1

In that case it needs the serializable attribute on the class like this...

[Serializable]
public class YourClass
