Windows PowerShell Serialization 02 Sample
==========================================

By default, serialization preserves all public properties of an object. This sample looks at an existing .NET class and shows how to make sure that information from an instance of this class is preserved across serialization and deserialization when the information is not available in public properties of the class.

**Sample Objectives**

The sample demonstrates the following:

1.  Setting serialization depth for a given .NET class.
2.  Adding an extended property that carries information not available in public properties of the .NET class.
3.  Hiding the extended property (an implementation detail needed for serialization) from users.
