Using XmlSerializer with private and public const properties

Question

What\'s the simplest way to get XmlSerializer to also serialize private and \"public const\" properties of a class or struct? Right not all it will output for me is things

Answer 1

XmlSerializer only looks at public fields and properties. If you need more control, you can implement IXmlSerializable and serialize whatever you would like. Of course, serializing a constant doesn't make much sense since you can't deserialize to a constant.
