Serializing a class with embedded xml

[chaitanyag@hotmail.com]

Hi,

Might be a bit of a silly question, but here goes...

I am trying to serialize a class that contains an
System.Xml.XmlA ttributeCollect ion data type. It keeps giving me an
error saying "you must implement the Add(System.Xml. XmlAttribute)
method on System.Xml.XmlC ollection because it inherits from
icollection.".

The docs

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlSerializationXmlSerializerClassTopic.asp

say the same thing.

But xmlattributecol lection doesn't have an Add method. Does this mean I
have to inherit another class from the xmlattributecol lection and use
that as a container? Has anyone tried to serialize a class that
essentially looks something like

Public class A
{
public string A1;
public System.Xml.XmlA ttributeCollect ion A2;
}
