Examples

The Stores variable in the following class does not get xml serialized. Changing IEnumerable to List corrects the problem, but breaks binding. I cannot find a solution short of writting a complete custom serializer. I will have to use INotifyPropertyChanged for these classes if a solution does not exist.

public class Customer
{
private List stores = new List();

private Independent _indStores = new Independent();

public IEnumerable Stores
{
get { _indStores.OnGet(); return stores; }
}
}

public static void SerializeToFile(object theObject, string OutFile)
{
if (theObject == null)
return;

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(theObject.GetType());
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb))
{
serializer.Serialize(sw, theObject);
}

File.WriteAllText(OutFile, sb.ToString());
}
