property serialisation

[erez shalom]

Hi ,
i have :

public classA
{

private int id;

public int id{get...,set....)
}

i want to serialize the field id,but i don't want to make him public(it
works like that way).
in the msdn it noted that public properties can be serialize too,but when i
put the[xmlattribute] with the property-it fails.
do i have to make my field public, or i can work just with the property?
thanks
erez

Actually that's synatax error. You cannot have field and property with the
same name.

works like that way). Only public members are subject to serialization process.

Property would be ok. It must be read-write though (both getter and setter
must be defined). And try [XmlAttribute] attribute instead (watch the case).
