 better. However, this seems to be a cleaner solution IMO.
 
 Note: This patch does NOT rely on Lionel's patch. In fact, this does
 not solve the standard Serialize/Deserialize issues. This only fixes
 the Remoting serialization as MS treats the DateTime as a primitive in
 remoting.

+
+This only fixes the *binary formatter*.
+The ISerializable implementation is still needed for custom formatters.
+
+
+Any reasons why you didn't use DateTime.ToBinary () and
+DateTime.FromBinary ()?
