LW,
You don't need nested class, but you can achieve it with nested custom
collection.
This is the easier way to hit this problem.
OrderInfo>
<CustomerID>VINET</CustomerID>
<OrderID>10248</OrderID>
<Dates>
<OrderDate>07/07/1996</OrderDate>
<ShippedDate>08/08/1996</ShippedDate>
</Dates>
</OrderInfo>
Represent the class in the following format
<Serializable>_
public class OrderInfo
public property CustomerID as String
public property OrderId as Integer
public property DataCol as OrderShipDataCollection
End Class
The collection or OrderShipData will have the following defintion
Public Class OrderShipDate
Public property OrdShpDate as Date
Public property DateType as Integer
End Class
If you go by leveraging Custom Collection you don't need to worry about
tweaking the serialization framework of .NET

Mark -
Thanks for your email. I did not quite understand your email being new to
C# and .NET in general. Can you explain some more ? I am not sure how
serialization works in this example and also how my XML output will still
be grouped.
Thanks,
LW
