How is FileInfo Serialized?

Question

I want to save file metadata (mostly path/name) along with the contents of the file.

I noticed that FileInfo is serializable. Does anyone know data is serialized when you save a FileInfo object? I would assume that only metadata is saved, not the contents of the file?

Answer 1

It doesn't have any information on the file contents, so no the contents won't be serialized.
