Try reading the links again. Your second link provides the answer quite clearly:

CA2237: Mark ISerializable types with SerializableAttribute[^]:
To be recognized by the common language runtime as serializable, types must be marked with the SerializableAttribute attribute even if the type uses a custom serialization routine through implementation of the ISerializable interface.
