XmlSerializer changes in .NET 3.5 SP1

Question

I\'ve seen quite a few posts on changes in .NET 3.5 SP1, but stumbled into one that I\'ve yet to see documentation for yesterday. I had code working just fine on my machine

Answer 1

I rather like this new (?) behavior because the XML document doesn't have any mention of Bar in it, so the deserializer should not even be attempting to set it.
