== Why is this an issue?

The ``++ISerializable++`` interface gives you control over _how_ your class is serialized, but does not itself make the class serializable. Such classes must also have the ``++[Serializable]++`` attribute.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,csharp]
----
public class Person : ISerializable {  // Noncompliant; [Serializable] attribute missing
  // ...
}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,csharp]
----
[Serializable]
public class Person : ISerializable {
  // ...
}
----

\[~freddy.mallet] Yes, it makes sense. BUT it is already implemented by the Roslyn team:
