How to preserve root node attributes on serialization

[Alex]

It seems that XML Serializatoin automatically puts certain XSD attributs in
the root node. How can I control the root node attributes emitted to
something more custom so I can preserve my schema link?

Just create public fields and reflect them to these attributes using
usual XmlAttribute attribute.

Do I have to do anything special besides place public fields in my root
serialization object and apply XmlAttribute to them? It doesn't seem to
work, I get reflection error, trying to do typeof(SerializtionObj)

Are you just trying to get rid of the prefix definitions for xsd and xsi? In
that case you need to pass an empty XmlSerializerNamespaces object to the
Serialize method as discussed in this thread [0]

Here is a sample how to control schemaLocation attribute, I hope it helps:

public class Test {
[XmlAttribute("schemaLocation",
Namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")]
public string schemaLocation;

static void Main(string[] args) {
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Test));
Test t = new Test();
t.schemaLocation = "foo.xsd";
ser.Serialize(Console.Out, t);
}
}
