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

Here's my solution to putting immutable values in a property that will serialize to XML:

[XmlElement]
public string format { get { return "Acme Order Detail XML v3.4.5"; } set { } }
