  I have to say that I am not even sure on what version of STL/CLR you are looking right now. :-) I assume you are talking about STL/CLR in Beta 2. You clearly do not have "alpha version" because it has not been released yet. Well if you do, I would love to take a look at it. :-) 
  
  To answer your question specifically. No, containers are not serializable. Of course, you should be able to sub-class and implement your own serialization. But I personally think it is a nice feature to add to STL/CLR. Why don't you open a suggestion bug for STL/CLR that you would like to see containers in STL/CLR be serializable. I would not expect this feature being implemented in time for web-release, but in the next release of VS if at all.

  I have the version that is present with my beta version of 2005.
  
  Where exactly should i open this suggestion you recommend
  
  I was intending to implement ISerializable and do it myself, but it seems for each object contained i have to provide an identity for it.
  
     for( int c=0; c< mVector.Size(); c++ )
        info.AddValue( c, mVector );
  
  How exactly would i implement serialization myself for a vector of objects
