Hi Can you try this too, public static string Serialize ( object dataToSerialize ) { if ( dataToSerialize == null ) return null ; using ( StringWriter stringwriter = new System . IO . StringWriter ()) { var serializer = new XmlSerializer ( dataToSerialize . GetType ()); serializer . Serialize ( stringwriter , dataToSerialize ); return stringwriter . ToString (); } } public static T Deserialize T >( string xmlText ) { if ( String . IsNullOrWhiteSpace ( xmlText )) return default ( T ); using ( StringReader stringReader = new System . IO . StringReader ( xmlText )) { var serializer = new XmlSerializer ( typeof ( T )); return ( T ) serializer . Deserialize ( stringReader ); } }
