I have a class (UserAccount) that uses a List<T> to contain a collection of
Account classes.  The Account class uses a List<T> to contain a collection of
the account items.  If the Account class is a checking account its List<>
collection contains instances of the CheckItem class, which represents a
single register item in a checking account.

I would like to be able to use the three types of serialization on them.  Of
course, the BinaryFormatter works fine.  I tried to mark the List<> fields as
[SoapIgnore, XmlIgnore] and before XML or SOAP seriliazation create an Array
from it.  However, the mere existence of the List<> class still causes XML
and SOAP seriliazation to fail, claiming that generics are not supported.

Is there a way I can use the generic List<> collection and still get XML and
SOAP serialization to work?

Thanks!
