There was a problem with decimal serialization. The fix was to:

***consider decimal a simple type; change IsSimpleType method as follows:

private static bool IsSimpleType(Type tp)
{
return tp.IsPrimitive || tp == typeof(DateTime) || tp == typeof(TimeSpan) || tp == typeof(string) || tp.IsEnum || tp == typeof(Guid) || tp == typeof(decimal);
}

***For serialization; edit the last condition in WriteValue and add a new one for decimal as follows:

else if (value is int)
writer.Write((int)value);
else if (value is decimal)
writer.Write(((decimal)value).ToString());

***For Deserialization; add this condition:

if (tp == typeof(decimal))
return Convert.ToDecimal(reader.ReadString());

I’m not sure if this is the most optimal way to do it. But unlike the full framework BinaryWriter, SilverLight BinaryWriter doesn’t support writing decimals. So, I had to go the string route as a work-around.

Silverlight Serializer rules!
