In order to avoid BinaryFormatter you need a custom TypeConverter for AxHost.State to serialize without it. We have an existing converter AxHost.StateConverter that does this, but it isn't actually registered for AxHost.State. We may decide to register it eventually, but even if we do, to support cross compilation with .NET Framework it's necessary to know how to inject a TypeConverter at runtime versus the normal way of applying an attribute.

TypeConverter docs should be updated with this how-to that we then refer to in our docs. Afaik it isn't described anywhere.

This technique will likely also apply to ResxResourceReader/Writer in general as well as other places where BinaryFormatter is currently in play.
