serialization lifecycle, decorate a method with the appropriate attribute
(<codeEntityReference>T:System.Runtime.Serialization.OnSerializingAttribute</codeEntityReference>,
<codeEntityReference>T:System.Runtime.Serialization.OnSerializedAttribute</codeEntityReference>,
<codeEntityReference>T:System.Runtime.Serialization.OnDeserializingAttribute</codeEntityReference>,
