    public class MyClass
    {
        [Serializable] public class MyTestClass 
        {
        }
        public static void Main(string []args)
        {
            try
            {
                bool myBool = false;
                MyTestClass myTestClassInstance = new MyTestClass();
                Type myType = myTestClassInstance.GetType();
                Console.WriteLine(myType.IsSerializable);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("\nAn exception occurred: {0}", e.Message);
