[RESOLVED] [2.0] Serialize a List<T> to XML.

Hi,

I´d like to serialize a List<T> to XML.

Let´s say I have;

Code:

---

Class Person
{
,....
}

And another Class;

Class People
{
  Private People()
  {
  }
 
  Public void CreatePerson()
    {
      Person pr = new Person();
        this.myPersonList.Add(pr);
    }

List<Person> myPersonList = new List<Person>();

public List<Person> ReturnMyPersonListCollection
 {
    get
    {
        return myPersonList;
      }
 }
}

---

Okay, If I were to serialize this, I would get sth similiar to this;
(Asume that I have added these attributes,

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttribute("")]

to the public properties of the Person Class).

Code:

---

<ReturnMyPersonListCollection>
    <Person>,.....................</Person>
    <Person>,.....................</Person>
    <Person>,.....................</Person>
<ReturnMyPersonListCollection>

---

The problem is the outter tag ,<ReturnMyPersonListCollection>,

I´d like to be able to change this tag to what ever I´d like it to be,..
Thanks.

By adding the, XmlArrayAttribute, I can modify this outter tag.

Code:

---

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayAttribute("Properties")]
        public List<Person> ReturnMyPersonListCollection
        {
            get
            {
                return this.ReturnMyPersonListCollection;
            }
        }

Found the answer here;

I couldn´t find it in the first place, as it didn´t appear in the intelisense drop down,
Why would this happen?
