Binary serialize a custom object in C#

To binary serialize a custom object in C#, use following code snippet.

                    using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
                    {

                        // Serialize an object into the storage referenced by 'stream' object.
                        System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter formatter = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();
                        // Serialize multiple objects into the stream
                        formatter.Serialize(stream, MyCustomOBJECT);

                       // If you want to put the stream into Array of byte use below code
                       // byte[] buffer = stream.ToArray();
                    }

Thanks
