Serialize class to XML?

Question

I have the follow class and the list that holds it:

public class Transport
{
    public string TransportType { get; set; }
    public string Mode { get; set;

You need a stream and a XmlSerializer object, here's an example:

FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"C:\MyPath", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyClass));

xmlSerializer.Serialize(fs, myClassInstance);

fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
fs.Dispose();

Don't forget to handle errors your own way. And I'm also assuming you want to serialize all your class' properties.
