I wish MyClass to be serializable to xml. What do I need to do to
accomplish this ? Thanks.



public class MyClass
{

Dictionary<MyEnum, MyItem> _myItems;
// etc.

public Dictionary<MyEnum, MyItem> MyItems
{
get { return _myItems; }
}

// etc.
}


public class MyItem
{
MyEnum _enumValue;
string _stringValue;
// etc.

public MyEnum EnumValue
{
get { return _myEnum; }
set { _myEnum = value; }
}

public string StringValue
{
get { return _stringValue; }
set { _stringValue = value; }
}

// etc.
}


public enum MyEnum
{
Value1 = 1,
// etc
}

Dictionarys are not xmlserializable, but there are a number of options
online as to how to serialize the data. I know that there is a
SerializableDictionary class that has code posted online if you search
for it. You could serialize the individual dictionary items and rebuild
the dictionary on deserialization as another option.

At best, the only thing you can serialize is MyItem.

The other thing you can do is load MyItem into a List<T> and XML
serialize the List<T>.
