My apologies for jumping into this thread without reading all the prior
posts, but why don't you just do:
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer( typeof(ToolDescriptor) );
xs.Serialize( ..., td );
...
The type[] is only needed to let the XmlSerializer know about types it might
have to process at runtime but your class doesn't explicitly declare them,
i.e. if you have a field of a reference type and you assign types derived
from the reference type (hope that's clear)...
HTH,
