    <p>I have an object that I want to serialize to XML and I am using the following code to carry this out:</p> <pre><code> public static string Serialize(object obj) { using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream()) using (var reader = new StreamReader(memoryStream)) { var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(obj.GetType()); serializer.WriteObject(memoryStream, obj); memoryStream.Position = 0; return reader.ReadToEnd(); } } </code></pre> <p>and when I do, I get the following XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;TestRequestPOCO xmlns=\"http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/GPTR.Model.POCOs\" xmlns:i=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"&gt; &lt;AdditionalInformation&gt;Additional Information&lt;/AdditionalInformation&gt; &lt;AddressLine1&gt;6 MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD&lt;/AddressLine1&gt; &lt;AddressLine2&gt;LEEDS&lt;/AddressLine2&gt; &lt;AddressLine3 i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;AddressLine4 i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;AntibioticTherapy i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;ClinicalInformation&gt;Clinical Information&lt;/ClinicalInformation&gt; &lt;ClinicalInformationXml i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;Clinician&gt;Dr NM BRYAN&lt;/Clinician&gt; &lt;ClinicianCode&gt;4203845&lt;/ClinicianCode&gt; &lt;ClinicianShortCode :nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;Destination&gt;1&lt;/Destination&gt; &lt;Dob&gt;1992-02-29T00:00:00&lt;/Dob&gt; &lt;ExpectedDate&gt;2011-10-06T10:22:57.096+01:00&lt;/ExpectedDate&gt; &lt;FirstName&gt;ALISON&lt;/FirstName&gt; &lt;GenerateOrder&gt;true&lt;/GenerateOrder&gt; &lt;HospitalNumber i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;IsFasting&gt;false&lt;/IsFasting&gt; &lt;IsPrivatePatient&gt;false&lt;/IsPrivatePatient&gt; &lt;IsSensitive&gt;false&lt;/IsSensitive&gt; &lt;IsUrgent&gt;false&lt;/IsUrgent&gt; &lt;Items&gt; &lt;RequestDataItem&gt; &lt;AdditionalInfo i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;Container i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;Description&gt;Ferritin [Serum]&lt;/Description&gt; &lt;LIMSDeptName&gt;CHM&lt;/LIMSDeptName&gt; &lt;ProfileNumber&gt;1293&lt;/ProfileNumber&gt; &lt;QualifierCode i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;SiteCode i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;SpecimenType&gt;Serum&lt;/SpecimenType&gt; &lt;UniqueTest&gt;False&lt;/UniqueTest&gt; &lt;/RequestDataItem&gt; &lt;/Items&gt; &lt;Location&gt;0&lt;/Location&gt; &lt;LocationName&gt;The INPS Practice&lt;/LocationName&gt; &lt;LocationShortCode&gt;W97046&lt;/LocationShortCode&gt; &lt;LocationTelephone&gt;01792602898&lt;/LocationTelephone&gt; &lt;MiddleName i:nil=\"true\"/&gt; &lt;NhsNumber&gt;5240022631&lt;/NhsNumber&gt; &lt;OrgCode&gt;RRS&lt;/OrgCode&gt; &lt;Placer&gt;Dr Sarah Saturn&lt;/Placer&gt; &lt;PostCode&gt;CF31 5EP&lt;/PostCode&gt; &lt;Sex&gt;Male&lt;/Sex&gt; &lt;Source&gt;GPTR&lt;/Source&gt; &lt;SurName&gt;WILLIAMS&lt;/SurName&gt; &lt;TelephoneNumber&gt;01792776776&lt;/TelephoneNumber&gt; &lt;/TestRequestPOCO&gt;" </code></pre> <p>As you can see,it doesn't handle empty tags well and also I want to strip out the text in the root tag so I end up with something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;TestRequestPOCO&gt; &lt;AdditionalInformation&gt;Additional Information&lt;/AdditionalInformation&gt; &lt;AddressLine1&gt;6 MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD&lt;/AddressLine1&gt; &lt;AddressLine2&gt;LEEDS&lt;/AddressLine2&gt; &lt;AddressLine3/&gt; &lt;AddressLine4/&gt; &lt;AntibioticTherapy&gt; &lt;ClinicalInformation&gt;Clinical Information&lt;/ClinicalInformation&gt; &lt;ClinicalInformationXml/&gt; &lt;Clinician&gt;Dr NM BRYAN&lt;/Clinician&gt; &lt;ClinicianCode&gt;4203845&lt;/ClinicianCode&gt; &lt;ClinicianShortCode/&gt; &lt;Destination&gt;1&lt;/Destination&gt; &lt;Dob&gt;1992-02-29T00:00:00&lt;/Dob&gt; &lt;ExpectedDate&gt;2011-10-06T10:22:57.096+01:00&lt;/ExpectedDate&gt;

&lt;IsSensitive&gt;false&lt;/IsSensitive&gt; &lt;IsUrgent&gt;false&lt;/IsUrgent&gt; &lt;Items&gt; &lt;RequestDataItem&gt; &lt;AdditionalInfo/&gt; &lt;Container/&gt; &lt;Description&gt;Ferritin [Serum]&lt;/Description&gt;

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.
