copied!<p>To correctly serialize a List structure, you have to use the <strong>CollectionDataContract</strong> attribute like so:</p> <pre><code> [CollectionDataContract] [Serializable] internal class ComplexObject<T> : List<T>, IEquatable<ComplexObject<T>> where T : IEquatable<T> </code></pre> <p>However, the CollectionDataContract doesn't allow for additional DataMembers to be serialized. The workaround would be to avoid inheriting from the list, but make it a member variable instead and optionally implement the ICollection, like so:</p> <pre><code>[DataContract] [Serializable] internal class ComplexObject<T> : ICollection<T>, IEquatable<ComplexObject<T>> where T : IEquatable<T> { private T m_state; [DataMember] public T State { get { return m_state; } set { m_state = value; } } private List<T> m_List = new List<T>(); [DataMember] public List<T> List { get { return m_List; } set { m_List = value; } } public bool Equals(ComplexObject<T> other) { if (!other.State.Equals(State)) return false; if (other.List.Count != List.Count) return false; for (int i = 0; i < other.List.Count;i++) { if (!other.List[i].Equals(List[i])) return false; } return true; } // ICollection members left out to save space // helper methods to wrap around the List to decrease the amount // of refactoring work you would have to do public void Add(T item) { List.Add(item); } public bool Remove(T item) { return List.Remove(item); } public T this[int index] { get { return List[index]; } } } </code></pre>
