C# Serialization

To use the XML Serializer in C#.NET, use as follows

public static class SerializationHelper
{
 /// 

 /// Serializes the object and returns the serialized object's xml string
 /// 
 /// The obj.
 /// 
 public static string SerializeObject(Object obj)
 {
  var xmlSerializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());

  System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();

  xmlSerializer.Serialize(memoryStream, obj);

  memoryStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);

  return new System.IO.StreamReader(memoryStream).ReadToEnd();
 }

 /// 

 /// Desserializeobjs the specified object XML string.
 /// 
 /// 
 /// The object XML string.
 /// 
 public static object DeSerializeObject(string objectXmlString)
 {
  var xmlSerializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

  using (System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
  {
   using (System.IO.StreamWriter swr = new System.IO.StreamWriter(memoryStream))
   {
    swr.Write(objectXmlString);
    swr.Flush();
    memoryStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);

    return (T)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(memoryStream);
   }
  }
 }
}
