Hi,

how can I serialize (some public properties of) a class derived from
System.ComponentModel.Component? Creating a new XmlSerializer throws an
exception with the message that property "Site" cannot be serialized because
it is an interface. I tried to override the Site property and gave it the
XmlIgnoreAttribute, but that didn't help.

Thanks,
Bernd

Hi Bernd,

Looks like you're on the right track. Try the following code for
instantiating your XmlSerializer.
XmlAttributes attrs = new XmlAttributes();

attrs.XmlIgnore = true;

XmlAttributeOverrides attrOverrides = new XmlAttributeOverrides();

attrOverrides.Add(typeof(Component), "Site", attrs);

attrOverrides.Add(typeof(Component), "Container", attrs);

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DerivedFromComponent),
attrOverrides);

Regards,

Ion Vasilian
