Public Sub Serialize ( _
    textWriter As TextWriter, _

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

An error occurred during serialization. The original exception is available using the InnerException property.

Remarks

When the Serialize method is invoked the public fields and read/write properties of an object are converted into XML. Methods, indexers, private fields, and read-only properties are not serialized. To serialize all fields and properties, both public and private, use the BinaryFormatter.

Use the textWriter parameter to specify an object that derives from the abstract TextWriter class. Classes that derive from TextWriter class include:

NoteNote:

The XmlSerializer cannot serialize arrays of ArrayList and arrays of List<T>.
