Serialize HttpWebRequest

Question

I try to send HttpWebRequest by Socket and when I want to Serialize it, I get this Exception:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Type 'System.Net.WebRequest+WebProxyWrapper' in Assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as serializable.

This is My Code:

 [Serializable()]

class BROWSER
{
    HttpListener Response = null;
    HttpListenerContext context = null;
    HttpListenerRequest request = null;
    HttpListenerResponse response = null;
    public HttpWebRequest Webrequest = null;
    public WebResponse Webresponce = null;
    string responseString = null; 
    //when my Webrequest is ready ...
      public void SendToProxyServer(HttpWebRequest Webrequest)
    {
        byte[] SndData;
        S_RSocket sock = new S_RSocket();
        SndData = Serializ.seryaliz(this.Webrequest);
        sock.Send(SndData);
        this.responseString = sock.res;

    }

and My Serialize Class :

abstract class Serializ
 {
   #region Filds
   static MemoryStream ms = null;
   static BinaryFormatter formatter = null;
   #endregion
   #region Methods
   public static byte [] seryaliz(object obj)
   {
       ms = new MemoryStream();
       formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
       formatter.Serialize(ms, obj);
       ms.Position = 0;
       String tmp = null;
       StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(ms);
       tmp = sr.ReadToEnd();
       ms.Position = 0;
       sr.Close();
       ms.Close();
       return Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(tmp);
   }
   public static object DEseryaliz(byte [] Data)
   {
       object obj = new object();
       formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
       ms = new MemoryStream(Data);
       ms.Position = 0;
       obj=(object)formatter.Deserialize(ms);
       ms.Close();
       return obj;

   }
   #endregion 
 }

I am Setting my Class as Serializable() but it was not working.

Where is the problem?

You can't serialize an HttpWebRequest because it, or a property it has, cannot be serialized because they don't have the Serializable attribute. In this case, it's a property inside HttpWebRequest. Adding Serializable to your class that is doing the serializing won't do anything.
