Using DataContractSerializer to serialize, but can't deserialize back

Question

I have the following 2 functions:

public static string Serialize(object obj)
{
    DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(obj.GetType         


        

Answer 1

Other solution is:

public static T Deserialize(string rawXml)
{
    using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(rawXml)))
    {
        DataContractSerializer formatter0 = 
            new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
        return (T)formatter0.ReadObject(reader);
    }
}

One remark: sometimes it happens that raw xml contains e.g.:

then of course you can't use UTF8 encoding used in other examples..
