XML Serialization of List - XML Root

Question

First question on Stackoverflow (.Net 2.0):

So I am trying to return an XML of a List with the following:

public XmlDocument GetEntityXml()
    {             


        

Answer 1

so simple....

public static XElement ToXML(this IList lstToConvert, Func filter, string rootName)
{
    var lstConvert = (filter == null) ? lstToConvert : lstToConvert.Where(filter);
    return new XElement(rootName,
       (from node in lstConvert
       select new XElement(typeof(T).ToString(),
       from subnode in node.GetType().GetProperties()
       select new XElement(subnode.Name, subnode.GetValue(node, null)))));

}
