How do I convert a c# class to an XMLElement or XMLDocument

Question

Hello I have an c# class that I would like to serialize using XMLSerializer. But I would like to have it serialized to a XMLElement or XMLDocument, is this possible or do I have to serialize it to a String and then parse the string back to a XMLDocument?

Answer 1

You can create a new XmlDocument, then call CreateNavigator().AppendChild(). This will give you an XmlWriter you can pass to the Serialize method that will dump into the doc root.
