XmlSerializer - There was an error reflecting type

Question

Using C# .NET 2.0, I have a composite data class that does have the [Serializable] attribute on it. I am creating an XMLSerializer class and passi

Answer 1

I have a slightly different solution to all described here so far, so for any future civilisation here's mine!

I had declared a datatype of "time" as the original type was a TimeSpan and subsequently changed to a String:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType="time", Order=3)]

however the actual type was a string

public string TimeProperty {
    get {
        return this.timePropertyField;
    }
    set {
        this.timePropertyField = value;
        this.RaisePropertyChanged("TimeProperty");
    }
}

by removing the DateType property the Xml can be serialized

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Order=3)]
public string TimeProperty {
    get {
        return this.timePropertyField;
    }
    set {
        this.timePropertyField = value;
        this.RaisePropertyChanged("TimeProperty");
    }
}
