How can I serialize a third-party type using protobuf-net or other serializers?

Question

I have List<HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode>, but protobuf-net gives me the error that it does not have a contract. How can I specify a contract for him when I have no source? He actually said that he cannot deduce a type, but I guess because I did not use its attibute, right?

The binary serializer also complains by default because the type is not marked as serializable.

EDIT: error message:

Type is not expected, and no contract can be inferred: HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode
