You can't serialize a class, only an instance. An instance of that class would be serializable, but that is quite useless, as you can't create an instance of the class. I'm not sure if it's an oversight in the design that a static class can be serializable, or if it's intentional. It shouldn't cause any problem anyway. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

I don't think the AttributeUsage attribute provides a way to specify that an attribute can be applied only to non-static classes. That's probably why Serializable can be applied to any class. Josh
