I believe that your SessionInfoSerializationHelper is going to get deserialized
on the other end, so you need that object to implement ISerializable as well.
In that instance, once SessionInfoSerializationHelper is deserialized, you'll
have access to the id you are looking for in the SerializationInfo.
This is really odd stuff and is mainly used for remoting objects by reference
and implementing proxies. Across what boundaries are your objects being
serialized?
