xml-serialization
Im haveing some xml that have this structure
<Person Id="*****" Name="*****">
<AccessControlEntries>
<AccessControlEntry Id="*****" Name="****"/>
</AccessControlEntries>
<AccessControls />
<IdentityGroups>
<IdentityGroup Id="****" Name="*****" />
</IdentityGroups></Person>
and i also have this entities

but the ToXml() response something like this

but what i want is something like this
<Person Id="****" Name="***" Nombre="****">
<AccessControlEntries/>
<IdentityGroups/>
</Person>
