Robert, Generally, it would help if you posted specifics about the exception youare catching, together with some code to reproduce the problem. I am gueesing, however, that you would see the following message upon examing the Message property if the InnerException of the exception you are catching:
The property 'Source' on type 'System.Exception' cannot be serialized because it is decorated with declarative security permission attributes. Consider using imperative asserts or demands in the property accessors. The XmlSerializer is designed to work in all environments without special security privileges. I am guessing that it does not process anything that would cause problems in more restricted environments. A more general question though: Why are you trying to serialize an Exception? Given all the limitations and restrictions of the XmlSerializer it is best to only serialize types that were explicitly designed to be used with it.
