1. your classes have to be public. There's no way around this. We've received a lot of feedback about this requirement, though, and are considering our options for future versions. 2. you can suppress these prefix definitions by passing an empty XmlSerializerNamespaces class to the Serialize method. Hope this helps alex

I was trying out the XML serialisation, and struck a few snags... 1. The classes you want serialised have to be public - but this isn't really what I wanted for this project - I wanted to hide the implementation from the "end user" of this component - is there any way to avoid this? 2. The serialiser produced this: <transaction xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; type="B2B_REQUEST_STATUS"> Where all I wanted was: <transaction type="B2B_REQUEST_STATUS"> Is there a way to suppress the above attributes? I've looked in the docs, but can't find anything... Cheers, Dino --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
