The IDesignerSerializationManager to use during serialization.

Remarks
Collections are serialized as follows:
If the collection is an array, the array is written.
If the collection has an AddRange method, it will be called and provided with an array.
If the collection has an Add method, it will be called repeatedly until all items in the collection are written.
If the collection is an IList, the Serialize method will cast the collection to an IList and add through that interface.
- If the collection has no Add method, but is marked with DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content, Serialize will enumerate the collection and serialize each element.
