Duncan wrote a tool (mcs/tools/serialize.cs) that helps you with this. Basically it tells you what fields must be serialized and the key names that you have to use. Duncan said last night `I will write a serialization howto', as he did most of the existing serialization support in Mono. Something that I believe we have not done is make sure that classes that are tagged as `Serializable' have the same field names as their .NET counterparts. Since these will be automatically serialized, and Reflection will be used to serialize them, we need to make our fields have the same names as the .NET ones do.
