XmlSerializer and TypeDelegator

[damien morton]

given:

class Foo
{
public int x = 1;
public int y = 2;
}

this works:

XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo));
x.Serialize(Console.Out, new Foo());

"<Foo>
<x>1</x>
<y>2</y>
</Foo>"

while this does not work:

XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(new TypeDelegator(typeof(Foo)));
x.Serialize(Console.Out, new Foo());

"<Foo/>"

Why? does anyone know of anything I can do to make the TypeDelegator
work? Could there be something in TypeDelegator I need to override?
