            xmlserial.Serialize(textwrite, com);
            textwrite.Close();
            FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open);
            company cmp = (company)xmlserial.Deserialize(fs);
            Console.WriteLine(cmp.comapnyname);
            foreach (employee e in cmp.employee)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}", e.name);

        public static void Main(String[] ar)
        {
            company co = new company();
