XML Serialization

[saquib189]

Hi, I'm creating a simple project for xml serialization in the reference of Microsoft press MCTS .net 2.0 by Tony Northup. ok In this application I create a Class Shopping Cart That has 4 public members and a parameterless constructor because it mentioned that private and protected members are skipped during serialization. (is it true). and how can i put instance of the class in main method because the class contains parameterless constructor. i'll will show the example below:

 Public Class ShoppingCartItem
 
        Public item As Integer
        Public Price As Double
        Public Rate As Integer
        Public total As Double
 
        Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New()
 
        End Sub
 
    End Class

thank you

XmlSerializer class can only serialize the public properties of the class. Where as BinaryFormatter class can serialize private fields.
We can create instance of a class where it contains parametreless constructor.
It is similar like normal contructor class.

Hello All,
I am trying to convert the encoding format from UTF-16 to UTF-8 for an XML file.
But I am not being able to change the format.
