IsSerializable(FieldInfo)

Indicates if the field is considered serializable. Public fields are always serializable, so long as they are not marked with System.NonSerializedAttribute. All other access levels are only serializable if the explicitly declare the UnityEngine.SerializeField attribute.

Declaration
public static bool IsSerializable(FieldInfo field)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Reflection.FieldInfo field

The field to check.
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

A boolean indicating if the field is considered serializable.
