C# To be, or not to be [Serializable]?

serialization

Hello codeproject,

I have a project and I don't know if I should make my enum serializable or if it won't affect the use of my project.
This is how it works:

public enum ColorOfFood { values }

[Serializable]
public class Food
{
   private string name;
   private ColorOfFood color;
}

[Serializable]
public class FoodList { List<Food> }

My ultimate goal is to save both the values of the class Food using a binairyFormatter.
I should be able to save and retrieve them. (And ofcourse use them)

Thanks in regards,
Bert
