I have a custom type which i want to serialize, this custom type accepts input which might consists of escape chars.

M1_Serilizer(MyCustomType customTypeObj) {XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyCustomType)); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); serializer.Serialize(sw, customTypeObj); string str= sw.ToString(); M2_Deserializer(str); }

M2_Deserializer(string str) { XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyCustomType)); StringReader sr = new StringReader(str); MyCustomType customTypeObj = (MyCustomType)serializer.Deserialize(sr); }

when escape type chars are part of the CustomTypeObj, on deserialization it throws an exception. Q1)How do i overcome this?, Q2)I should use StringReader and StringWriter and not memorystream or other thing ways. StringWriter/reader will only serve my internal functionality Q3)How can these escape chars be handled?
