[XmlInclude(type of(System.Drawi ng.Font))]

Hello,
I am learning how to use the XmlSerializer. I have a class that has a
member of type
System.Drawing. Font such as:

[XmlInclude(type of(System.Drawi ng.Font))]
[XmlRoot("ProMod elChartFX")]
public class MyClass
{
Font font;
public Font Font
{
get{return font;}
set{font = value;}
}
public MyClass(){}
}

Whenever I try to:
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(MyClass)) ;

an exception is thrown of "Additional information: There was an error
reflecting type MyClass.MyClass ."

Does the Font type support serialization? Do I have create my own special
font object and include it? Any advice or links would much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!

With some help from this link:
http://weblogs.asp.net/cschittko/articles/33045.aspx

I was able to figure out the issue which is:

--------- Exception Data ---------
Message: System.Drawing. Font cannot be serialized because it does not have a
default public constructor.
Exception Type: System.InvalidO perationExcepti on
Source: System.Xml
This seems like it would be a common problem of XmlSerializing .net
framework classes that do not have a default public constructor. Are there
any good articles discussing recommended practices of how to handle?

Given this, would you recommend wrapping the Font into a custom class?

Thanks again,
Dan H.
