Serialization Problems

[davesauny]

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble with serialization especially of array elements!

What I have is an array of clsUsers which have various properties as
shown in the code below

The XML I want to achieve is shown at the top and underneath that is
the xml i have achieved.... any help you can provide would be most
helpful!

Dave.

Code to Follow:
----------------------------------------------------------------
'''------Need to Achieve-------
'''<user_profil es>
''' <user>
''' <uid val="1" />
''' <username val="Dave" />
''' <password val="test" />
''' <level val="1" />
''' </user>
''' <user>
''' .
''' .
''' </user>
''' etc.
'''</user_profiles>

'''---------Actually Achieve--------
'''<ArrayOfClsU ser>
''' <clsUser>
''' <username>1</username>
''' <uid>1</uid>
''' <password>1</password>
''' <level>OPERATOR </level>
''' </clsUser>
''' <clsUser>
''' <username>2</username>
''' <uid>2</uid>
''' <password>2</password>
''' <level>OPERATOR </level>
''' </clsUser>
''' etc.
'''</ArrayOfClsUser>
