I would have thought implementing IDictionary would have made serialisation a breeze. (then again I'm pretty duff with the totally obvious) Would I be able to write the contents as an XML string? i.e expose a property named xmlHashContents that does something like
<Connection value="xyz"/><User value="abc"/> (probably would get chance to try before the response) Robert. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 6 June 2002 0:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] Hashtable XML Serialization Robert, The XmlSerializer will not touch anything that implements IDictionary, it only serializes collections implementing ICollection or IList. Thus you can't just derive a class because the derived class implements IDictionary. You have to write a wrapper class with some public properties to access the contents of the Hashtable for the XmlSerializer to handle it. Let me know if you need more info.
