how to serialize/deserialize unknown object

Hi All,

I have a class View, defined with a property called Parameters which
is of type class ControlParameters. View class is used
serialize/deserialize view.xml. User may define a new class
VideoControl that is inherited from ControlParameters and use the view
class to create .xml file. The problem I am running into is, at times
deserializing, throws an exception saying that type expected is
ControlParameters and not VideoControlParameters, use xmlInclude or
SoapInclude. I have looked at these attributes and added
[XmlElement(typeof(VideControlParameters))] at the top of
ControlParameters property in View.cs by adding
VideoControlParameters.cs project reference View project. Now my
question is, I don't know the type of object that will be passed in to
ControlParameters, but I do know that it is derived from
ControlParameters. Is there a way to dynmically add the
XmlElement(typeof()) attribute to ControlParameters in view class?

Thanks in advance.
