I have been hacking away on WPF/MVVM, GWT/MVP, and Rails for the last six months and haven’t found much time to update. But I wrote some handy C# XML serialization methods. They are very straightforward.

Deserialize:

public static T ReadFromFile(string file) {
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file);
T ret = (T)xs.Deserialize(sr);
sr.Close();
return ret;
}


Serialize:

public static void WriteToFile(T obj, string file) {
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(file);
xs.Serialize(sw, obj);
sw.Close();
}


Enjoy.
