To serialize an object instance to XML, you need to use the XMLSerializer class’s Serialize method. The code snippet below demonstrates:

XmlSerializer xmlSer = new XmlSerializer(objInstance.GetType());System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();System.IO.StringWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb);xmlSer.Serialize(writer, objInstance);XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();doc.LoadXml(sb.ToString());

To deserialize the serialized XML back to an object instance, you need to use the XMLSerializer Class’s DeSerialize method:

XmlNodeReader reader = new XmlNodeReader(doc.DocumentElement);XmlSerializer xmlSer = new XmlSerializer(objType);object obj = xmlSer .Deserialize(reader);//Cast the object to respective typeOBJClass Obj = (OBJClass)obj;
