Windows PowerShell Serialization 01 Sample
==========================================

This sample looks at an existing .NET class and shows how to make sure that information from selected public properties of this class is preserved across serialization and deserialization. The sample uses a types.ps1xml file to declare which properties of the class should get serialized.

**Sample Objectives**

This sample demonstrates the following:

1.  Setting serialization depth for a given .NET class.
2.  Restricting which set of properties from a class are serialized.
3.  Demonstrating the effects of using a types.ps1xml file and [**DeserializingTypeConverter**](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd144399).
