Hi ,

XMLSerialize object will serialize the Private fields as well?

Thanks

No. See here.

"Note: XML serialization does not convert methods, indexers, private fields, or read-only properties (except read-only collections). To serialize all an object's fields and properties, both public and private, use the BinaryFormatter instead of XML serialization."

No you cannot XML serialize private members.

Three rules when using XML serialization,
1) Class must be public
2) Serialized members must be public as well
3) and you should have a parameter-less Constructor

Maybe that's your solution.

Cheers
