Scenarios in which Xml Serialization fails in .NET.

Question

I would like to know the most common scenarios in which xml serialization may fail in .NET.

Answer 1

I think mostly XmlSerializerhere:

• it is limited to tree data; it cannot handle full object graphs
• he is limited to public members, in public classes
• he can't really do much with objectmembers
• he has some disadvantages regarding generics
• like many serializers, it will not affect the properties of an instance in a collection (first of all, bad practice).
• xml ( )

DataContractSerializer , :

• .NET 3.0 ( 2.0)

Answer 5

TimeSpanobjects cannot be serialized. IDictionary-Additional types cannot be serialized (although they can be serialized with some manual massage).
