Deserialization does not work for server

[Techno]

more and more serialization/deserialization problems.

after figuring out the frustrating error message (namespace.class type was not expected....)

I am now able to serialize an arraylist. awesome.

so server serializes it:

Type[] extraTypes = new Type[1];
extraTypes[0] = typeof(ProgrammeTimes);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ArrayList), extraTypes);

serializer.Serialize(this.theNetworkStream, this.myClass.TheCollection);

and client recieves it and does this to DEserialize:

//writes the xml to file, then reads it from a streamReader

XmlSerializer theSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(myClass[]));
myClass[] temp = (myClass[])theSerializer.Deserialize(theStreamReader);
theStreamReader.Close()

and I am able to successfully read the collection of objects to the type myClass. Cool!!

problem is that when I serialize from client (same code as server) and the Server tries to deserialize (same code as above) I get the error:

"<ArrayOfAnyType xmls="> was not expected

Any ideas? This is really frustrating - been 1 full day and have not progressed


The only difference really is the .NET framework. Server is 1.1 and client is 2.0 but that should not matter much when serializing i believe
