Remoting Serialization Issue

I've got a wrapper class for MyClass, called RemotableMyClass (which inherits from MarshalByRefObject). I've got an object that is not marked as serializable I'm using inside MyClass (which implements ISerializable to "take care" of that).

In the server, I have...

ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new HttpChannel(1234));
RemotingConfiguration.ApplicationName = "MyTest";
ObjRef objRef = RemotingServices.Marshal(instantiationOfRemotableMyClass, "MyTest");

In the client, I have...

RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType(typeof(RemotableMyClass), "http://localhost:1234/MyTest");
RemotableMyClass rmc = new RemotableMyClass();

MyClass mc = new MyClass();
mc.ObjectNotMarkedAsSerializable.someProperty = 2;
rmc.MyClass = mc;

Why do I receive a serialization error about the
ObjectThatIsNotMarkedAsSerializable MyClass serializes and deserializes fine when using a BinaryFormatter.

[Serializable]
public class MyClass : ISerializable
{
public ObjectNotMarkedAsSerializable obj = new ObjectNotMarkedAsSerializable;
void ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
{
// implementation to serialize ObjectNotMarkedAsSerializable
}

public MyClass (SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
{
// implementation to deserialize ObjectNotMarkedAsSerializable
}

}

[Serializable]
public class RemotableMyClass : MarshalByRefObject
{
public MyClass myClass;
}
