Serialization in C#. (Newbie)

[RKS]

Hope this is a right group. I am new to C# development. I have been
programming MFC for a long time. I have read many articles about
serialization in C#. But somehow I am a still little confused. My
question is if I declare a [Serializable] attribute for a class, where
do I have to declare the methods for serializing and deserializing. I
mean specifying the binary or XML formatter and the file name etc. and
reading back into the object. And when is it called (in MFC Open and
save call (De)serialize and serialize respectively.) It will be really
helpful if somebody can provied me an example or a link to a good
tutorial.
Thanks
