Serialize object or list of objects using xDocument

This works for any serializable type or list of serializable type and deserialize back.

 

XDocument doc = new XDocument();

using (var writer = doc.CreateWriter())

{

    var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(objToSerialize.GetType());

    serializer.WriteObject(writer, objectToSerialize);

}

Var objectXml = doc.ToString();

 

To Deseralize xml back to type T.

 

DataContractSerializer ser = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));

return  (T)ser.ReadObject(xmlDocument.CreateReader(), true);

 

 

you need to refer using System.Xml.Serialization; in your class type.

 

Thanks
