在.net中使用XmlSerializer类进行序列化与反序列化操作是非常方便的，见下面的代码：

[Serializable]
public class UserInfo
{
	/// <summary>
	/// 人名称
	/// </summary>
	public string Name
	{
		get;
		set;
	}
	public DateTime Date
	{
		get;
		set;
	}
	public double Age
	{
		get;
		set;
	}
	public string Remark
	{
		get;
		set;
	}
}
[Serializable]
public class SerializerList : ICollection
{
   private ArrayList list = new ArrayList();

   public SerializerList()
   { }

   public UserInfo this[int index]
   {
	   get
	   {
		   return (UserInfo)this.list[index];
	   }
	   set
	   {
		   this.list[index] = value;
	   }
   }

   public int Add(UserInfo iap)
   {
	   return this.list.Add(iap);
   }

   public void Remove(UserInfo iap)
   {
	   this.list.Remove(iap);
   }

   public void RemoveAt(int index)
   {
	   this.list.RemoveAt(index);
   }

   public int Count
   {
	   get
	   {
		   return this.list.Count;
	   }
   }

   #region ICollection 成员
   void ICollection.CopyTo(Array array, int index)
   {
	   this.list.CopyTo(array, index);
   }
   int ICollection.Count
   {
	   get { return this.list.Count; }
   }
   bool ICollection.IsSynchronized
   {
	   get { return this.list.IsSynchronized; }
   }

   object ICollection.SyncRoot
   {
	   get { return this.list.SyncRoot; }
   }
   #endregion
   #region IEnumerable 成员
   IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
   {
	   return this.list.GetEnumerator();
   }
   #endregion
}
SerializerList list = new SerializerList();
public bool SerializeObjecy(string path)
{

   XmlSerializer xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SerializerList));
   StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(path, false, Encoding.Default);
   try
   {
	   xml.Serialize(sw, this.list);
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
	   MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
	   return false;
   }
   finally
   {
	   if (sw != null)
	   {
		   sw.Close();
	   }
   }

   return true;
}

public bool DeserializeObject(string path)
{
   XmlSerializer xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SerializerList));
   XmlReader sr = new XmlTextReader(path);
   try
   {
	   this.list = (SerializerList)xml.Deserialize(sr);
   }
   catch (Exception e)
   {
	   return false;
   }
   finally
   {
	   if (sr != null)
	   {
		   sr.Close();
	   }
   }
   return true;
}

序列化一个对象，会生成一个xml文件；同样，这个xml文件也可以被反序列化。
生成的xml文件的格式为

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SerializerList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <UserInfo>
    <Name>dddd</Name>
    <Date>2010-04-02T10:31:47.8562957+08:00</Date>
    <Age>11</Age>
    <Remark>dddddd</Remark>
  </UserInfo>
</SerializerList>

一般情况下，序列化不会产生什么问题，问题最多的出现在反序列化上，最常见的就是：

XML反序列化出错，XML 文档(2, 2)中有错误，不应有<SerializerList xmlns=''>

这个错误的原因是反序列化时，xml文件与类不一致。解决的方法就是将对象序列化，打开xml文件看看。
