Hi,

I have a class library in which I have classes which implement
ISerializable. They all have GetObjectData implementations and
constructors to support deserialization.

In unit testing this library, I discovered that my classes were being
serialized by XmlSerializer using the default behavior of traversing the
public g/s properties.

My unit test app is a console program and nothing is being downloaded.

At first I set breakpoints to trap the process, but when that failed, I
altered the GetObjectData() method in one class to cause the generation
recognizably-inaccurate but still-legal xml data by omitting calling
AddValue for a couple properties.

Sure enough, XmlSerializer blithely generated Xml that had the omitted
properties proving my GetObjectData method was not being called. The
class I isolated on to test this is a public base class.

Anyone know what the problem could be?  I can attach the code but
really, it's no different than the thousand basic examples out there for
implementing ISerializable.

Any help would be dearly appreciated!
