The DataContractJsonSerialiazer uses the DataContract / DataMember attributes, and doesn't care about ISerializable. Nothing prevents you from adding both the DataContract attribute and implemented the ISerializable interface, though.

You could also use the System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer class instead, I believe that it respects ISerializable. It isn't very fast though, and doesn't support dates, so I would really not recommend it.

Are you sure you cannot just use the DataContract serializer? You can use that with a binary writer if you want to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752244.aspx
