    <p>How can I do this? Or will the serializer automatically go with recursion, and serialize all those child objects into XML?</p> <p><strong>Give me an example how would you serialize classes that contain other classes' objects in themselves! That was the core of this question!</strong></p> <p>I've tried this, and it didn't output <strong>anything</strong> (except the XML header) to the targeted XML file.</p> <p>My problem is that I need to serialize a simple class, that just holds a List object. But, those Entities also hod List objects. (Another plus would be if I could avoid the serialization of some components, because some are derived and have dictionaries in them).</p> <pre><code>public void SaveCurrent(string MapFileName) { string MapPath = world_.game_.Content.RootDirectory + "/Maps/" + MapFileName + ".xml"; StreamWriter MapWriter = new StreamWriter(MapPath); Map SavedMap = new Map(); SavedMap.Entities = world_.Entities; XmlSerializer xSerializer = new XmlSerializer(SavedMap.GetType()); xSerializer.Serialize(MapWriter, SavedMap); MapWriter.Close(); } </code></pre> <p>That's the piece of code that does the serialization.</p> <pre><code>public class Map { internal string MapName; internal string MapDescription; internal string MapAuthor; public List&lt;Entity&gt; Entities = new List&lt;Entity&gt;(); } </code></pre> <p>And this is the class that's serialized. <strike>Could internals be counted as publics, if the serialization is called from the same assembly?</strike> The code throws exception at the <code>SavedMap.GetType()</code> function, and I've tried <code>typeof(Map)</code> too, but without success. I guess it's because I need some other way to handle each new class (deep serialization) how do I do that?</p> <p>Also, I've found on some examples, that there are no interface inheritance or attributes, therefore I didn't add those either, but I'm planning to use IXmlSerializable, though I don't know how to call another serialization inside WriteXML implementation.</p>

    3. CO"Could internals be counted as publics, if the serialization is called from the same assembly?" No. The XmlSerializer considers only public members. (In fact XmlSerializer creates a dynamic assembly to hold the code that does the serialising and deserialising, so the actual serialisation *always* takes place in a different assembly from your code.)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
