  15     <summary>Class for serializing and and deserializing objects to XML.</summary>
  16     <remarks>
  17       <para>
  18 XML serialization is useful when we want to store object state and restore it back later.
  19 </para>
  20
  21 XML serialization main benefits are:
  22
  23 <list type="bullet"><item><term>It is easy to use</term></item><item><term>It is very fast</term></item><item><term>You have to write mimimum of code</term></item></list>
  24
  25
  26 On the other hand:
  27
  28 <list type="bullet"><item><term>All properties or fields you want to serialize must be public</term></item><item><term>Not every object can be serialized</term></item><item><term>Your classes must be designed for serialization (e.g you must provide public paremeterless constructor.)</term></item></list><para>
  29 Now take a look at simple XML serialization example:
  30 </para><example><code lang="C#">
  31 // Simple XML serialization
  32 using System;
  33 using System.IO;
  34 using System.Xml.Serialization;
  35
  36 public class MyObject {
  37     public int X;
  38     public int Y;
  39
  40     public MyObject() {
  41     }
  42
  43     public MyObject(int x, int y) {
  44         this.X = x;
  45         this.Y = y;
  46     }
  47
  48         public static void Main(string[] args)
  49         {
  50                 MyObject o = new MyObject (5, 8);
  51                 using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("test.xml", FileMode.Create)) {
  52                         XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject));
  53                         serializer.Serialize(fs, o);
  54                 }
  55         }
  56 }
  57   </code></example><para>
  58 MyObject is here class that will be serialized. We serialize it's instance o to file test.xml. First we must create instance of XmlSerializer. As parameter we pass type of object we want to serialize. Then calling Serialize method with stream and object does serialization for us.
  59 </para><para>
  60 Next example shows how to load object back from XML.
  61 </para><example><code lang="C#">
  62 // Simple XML deserialization
  63 using System;
  64 using System.IO;
  65 using System.Xml.Serialization;
  66
  67 public class MyObject {
  68     public int X;
  69     public int Y;
  70
  71     public MyObject() {
  72     }
  73
  74     public MyObject(int x, int y) {
  75         this.X = x;
  76         this.Y = y;
  77     }
  78
  79         public static void Main(string[] args) {
  80                 MyObject o;
  81                 using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead("test.xml")) {
  82                         XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject));
  83                         o = (MyObject) serializer.Deserialize(fs);
  84                 }
  85                 Console.WriteLine("Deserialized object: " + o.X + "," + o.Y);
  86         }
  87 }
  88   </code></example><para>
  89 These were two simple examples, but reality is more complex. You will need to control serialization process. That can be done using various attributes from System.Xml.Serialization. Use
  90
  91
  92 <list type="bullet"><item><term>XmlIgnore attribute for public fields or properties that you don't want to serialize</term></item></list></para></remarks>
