Serialization of types that contain events

[Nigel Armstrong]

Hi All

If I have a type that contains an event, then serialization tries to
serialize the delegate and its invocation list - not good.

In C#, I can write code like this (follows) - note the use of the
NonSerialized attribute with the field qualifier [field:NonSerialized].
Without the field qualifier I get a compile time error.

In VB.NET, I don't seem to have an equivalent - I can't do
<Field:NonSerialized()> - which means I can't work around this serialization
problem. Is there a workaround?

Nigel

public class Bla
{
[field:NonSerialized]
public event MyEventHandler MyEvent;
}

public delegate void MyEventHandler(Object sender, MyEventArgs e);

public class MyEventArgs : System.EventArgs
{
}
