Serialize CollectionBase derived object

Hi group

I am quite new to xml.
I have a strong typed collection derived from a collection base, and i need
to serialize it.
I have seriously search on the net and don't find any help about how to make
a collection serialisable with a real name (with not the ArrayOf prefix)

There is a workaround by encapsulate the collection as a property in another
class and serialise that class.
I think it is possible to create a Collection that don't implement the
ICollection interface and serialize it as an array.
I discover another known problem explained here :
http://dotnetified.com/CommentView.a...b-a49f246af2d5

But i can't found a simple attribute, or serialize option to make the
collection have the good name I really need.
I know this is a FAQ, but there is no Frequently Reply.

So is there really not anysolution to serialize string type colelctions
directly ?
I am sure there is ! It seems to be a so simple problem !

Please light me
ROM

Hi, I have a list which is derived from CollectionBase, and it contains a list of User objects, which I want to Serialize out to an XML file. Is there anywhere where I can find how to decode it so that it recognizes what objects are held in my list? or an example in C# prefereably? Many thanks in advance... Colin

What's the advantage of inheriting from CollectionBase as opposed to just implementing IList? It seems that it saves you from having to implement a few properties (Clear, CopyTo, Count, GetEnumerator, and RemoveAt) but the way it implements all the other things you need to override seems overkill and counters the advantage of having an...
