How to serialize List<object>
- by afin
I am writing common functions to serialize the given object and List<object> as follows
public string SerializeObject(Object pObject)// for given object
{
try
{
String XmlizedString = null;
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(pObject));
XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(memoryStream, Encoding.UTF8);
xs.Serialize(xmlTextWriter, pObject);
memoryStream = (MemoryStream)xmlTextWriter.BaseStream;
XmlizedString = UTF8ByteArrayToString(memoryStream.ToArray());
return XmlizedString;
}
catch (Exception e) { System.Console.WriteLine(e); return null; }
}
public string SerializeObject(List<Object> pObject)// for given List<object>
{
try
{
String XmlizedString = null;
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(pObject));
XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(memoryStream, Encoding.UTF8);
xs.Serialize(xmlTextWriter, pObject);
memoryStream = (MemoryStream)xmlTextWriter.BaseStream;
XmlizedString = UTF8ByteArrayToString(memoryStream.ToArray());
return XmlizedString;
}
catch (Exception e) { System.Console.WriteLine(e); return null; }
}
first one is working fine. If I pass any type, it is successfully returning xml string. But second one is throwing error. what could be wrong?
