FileNotFoundException for mscorlib.XmlSerializers.DLL, which doesn't exist

Question

I\'m using an XmlSerializer to deserialize a particular type in mscorelib.dll

XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer( typeof( [.Net type in System] ) );
retur         


        

Answer 1

Okay, so I ran into this problem and have found a solution for it specific to my area.

This occurred because I was trying to serialize a list into an XML document (file) without an XML root attribute. Once I added the following files, the error goes away.

XmlRootAttribute rootAttribute = new XmlRootAttribute();
rootAttribute.ElementName = "SomeRootName";
rootAttribute.IsNullable = true;

Dunno if it'll fix your problem, but it fixed mine.
