Are linqtosql objects serializable?

Hi I am developing a webservice via asp.net 3.5 , I wonder if I use lintosql as ORM then different datatypes that I use to return (datatable,object,List,class members, etc) would be serializable by default ? or I need to modify linqtosql classes to make them serializable ?

It is possible by setting the Serialization Mode property to Unidirectional. I would however recommend that you create your own DTO's and expose those in your webservice instead of auto generated linq entities. It'll give greater control over you API.
