XML Serialization Support Reminders

Xml serialization annoyances:

NUnit framework seems to have a problem testing serialization. Complains about StrongNameIdentityPermission? Why?

Things not to forget:

1. public default constructor is required.

2. public fields need to be read/write (don’t forget setters, even if they are no-ops).

3. Public indexers cause serialization to fail with a reflection error. Use [XmlIgnore].
