In fact GetObjectData does not serialize information, it just says what
information needs to be serialized...

In GetObjectData() you only have to fill the provided SerializationInfo with
the data of the exception. You could for example add a new entry named
"ErrorInfo" and with the array of RegistrationErrorInfo as value. Don't
forget to call the base.GetObjectData(), so information of base classes is
also serialized.

You need also to implement a serialization constructor. It is a constructor
with the same parameters as GetObjectData(), but that must do the inverse
operation: it has to take the information from the SerializationInfo and
initialize the fields of the object.

The serialization formatter you use for serializing the exception will see
that RegistrationException implements ISerializable and will call
GetObjectData() to get the information to serialize. This is currently
supported by BinaryFormatter, but not yet by SoapFormatter.
