Remarks

By default NamedMapTKey, TValue uses Microsoft BinaryFormatter serializer, so it's important for the key and value types to be marked as Serializable. Using a CustomSerializer is advisable when implementing portable Java/C# objects or when you would like to get advantage of some high-performance serializers.

If serialization or deserialization of an object is not supported in its implementation, it should throw an NotSupportedException. This will trigger an attempt to fallback to standard serialization. However, it is not recommended to keep such objects in the cache when a custom serializer is defined. You can use a "magic number" in the beginning of the stream to distinguish custom serialized objects from ones using a standard serialization (based on the BinaryFormatter serializer).
