Using generics with XmlSerializer

Question

When using XML serialization in C#, I use code like this:

public MyObject LoadData()
{
    XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject));         


        

Answer 1

always work's for me

  public static string ObjectToXmlSerialize(T dataToSerialize)
    {
        try
        {
            var stringwriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();
            var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            serializer.Serialize(stringwriter, dataToSerialize);
            return stringwriter.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
        }
        return null;
    }

and this is for Deserialize:

  public static T XmlDeserializeToObject(string xmlText)
    {
        try
        {
            var stringReader = new System.IO.StringReader(xmlText);
            var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            return (T)serializer.Deserialize(stringReader);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
        }
        return default(T);
    }
