## Remarks
 The classes in this namespace can be divided into the following categories:

-   Serialization attributes that can be used to indicate the serializer to use for a specific type: <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.DesignerSerializerAttribute>, to indicate the serializer to use for a particular type; and <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.RootDesignerSerializerAttribute>, to indicate the base serializer to use for the root designer.

-   Classes that a designer can implement to customize serialization: <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerLoaderHost>, for loading a designer document from a serialized state; and <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerLoaderService>, for loading a designer document when external components and asynchronous loading are involved.

-   Interfaces that a designer can use to manage the serialization process: <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager>, to register or retrieve custom serializers; <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationProvider>, to make a serializer available to an <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager>; and <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationService>, which provides methods to invoke serialization and deserialization.

-   An interface that can be implemented to customize the loading process of a designer: <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.DesignerLoader>.

-   An interface that can be used to optimize the reloading of a designer: <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.ICodeDomDesignerReload>.

-   Other helper classes: <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.INameCreationService>, an interface for generating unique names for objects; <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.ContextStack>, a data structure useful for sharing serialization context information with serializers; and <xref:System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor>, an object that can describe a serializable object.
