copied!<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I updated the code according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1940127/how-to-xmlserialize-system-drawing-font-class/1940307#1940307">Regent</a> suggestion to use <code>FontConverter</code>, while preserving the ability to use the <code>SerializableFont</code> as regular <code>Font</code>.</p> <pre><code>public class SerializableFont { public SerializableFont() { FontValue = null; } public SerializableFont(Font font) { FontValue = font; } [XmlIgnore] public Font FontValue { get; set; } [XmlElement("FontValue")] public string SerializeFontAttribute { get { return FontXmlConverter.ConvertToString(FontValue); } set { FontValue = FontXmlConverter.ConvertToFont(value); } } public static implicit operator Font(SerializableFont serializeableFont) { if (serializeableFont == null ) return null; return serializeableFont.FontValue; } public static implicit operator SerializableFont(Font font) { return new SerializableFont(font); } } public static class FontXmlConverter { public static string ConvertToString(Font font) { try { if (font != null) { TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Font)); return converter.ConvertToString(font); } else return null; } catch { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Unable to convert"); } return null; } public static Font ConvertToFont(string fontString) { try { TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Font)); return (Font)converter.ConvertFromString(fontString); } catch { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Unable to convert"); } return null; } } </code></pre> <p>Usage: When you have a <code>Font</code> property, declare it as <code>SerializableFont</code>. This will allow it to be serialized, while the implicit cast will handle the conversion for you.</p> <p>Instead of writing:</p> <pre><code>Font MyFont {get;set;} </code></pre> <p>Write:</p> <pre><code>SerializableFont MyFont {get;set;} </code></pre>
