How to insert XML comments in XML Serialization?

Question

I want to add at the top of my xml file some notes for the user who reads it. I am not sure how to do this though with xml serialization.

Just put an XmlWriter as an intermediate level between the MemoryStream and the XmlSerializer:

static public MemoryStream SerializeToXML(MyWrapper list)
{
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyWrapper));
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(stream);
    writer.WriteStartDocument();
    writer.WriteComment("Product XY Version 1.0.0.0");
    serializer.Serialize(writer, course);
    writer.WriteEndDocument();
    writer.Flush();
    return stream;
}

Your can add any XML before and after the serialized object graph (as long as the result is valid XML).
