我的2 p…

        string Serialise<T>(T serialisableObject)
        {
            var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(serialisableObject.GetType());

            using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                using (var xw = XmlWriter.Create(ms, 
                    new XmlWriterSettings()
                        {
                            Encoding = new UTF8Encoding(false),
                            Indent = true,
                            NewLineOnAttributes = true,
                        }))
                {
                    xmlSerializer.Serialize(xw,serialisableObject);
                    return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray());
                }
            }
        }

序列化和反序列化XML/JSON (SerializationHelper.cs):

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace MyProject.Helpers
{
    public static class SerializationHelper
    {
        public static T DeserializeXml<T>(this string toDeserialize)
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (StringReader textReader = new StringReader(toDeserialize))
            {
                return (T)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(textReader);
            }
        }

        public static string SerializeXml<T>(this T toSerialize)
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter())
            {
                xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
                return textWriter.ToString();
            }
        }

        public static T DeserializeJson<T>(this string toDeserialize)
        {
            return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(toDeserialize);
        }

        public static string SerializeJson<T>(this T toSerialize)
        {
            return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(toSerialize);
        }
    }
}

我知道这不是问题的真正答案，但根据问题的投票数和接受的答案，我怀疑人们实际上是在使用代码将对象序列化为字符串。

使用XML序列化会给输出增加不必要的额外文本垃圾。

对于下面的类

public class UserData
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
}

它生成

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<UserData xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <UserId>0</UserId>
</UserData>

更好的解决方案是使用JSON序列化(最好的方法之一是Json.NET)。 序列化一个对象:

var userData = new UserData {UserId = 0};
var userDataString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(userData);

反序列化一个对象:

var userData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserData>(userDataString);

序列化的JSON字符串看起来像这样:

{"UserId":0}

[VB]

Public Function XmlSerializeObject(ByVal obj As Object) As String

    Dim xmlStr As String = String.Empty

    Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
    settings.Indent = False
    settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = True
    settings.NewLineChars = String.Empty
    settings.NewLineHandling = NewLineHandling.None

    Using stringWriter As New StringWriter()
        Using xmlWriter__1 As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stringWriter, settings)

            Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(obj.[GetType]())
            serializer.Serialize(xmlWriter__1, obj)

            xmlStr = stringWriter.ToString()
            xmlWriter__1.Close()
        End Using

        stringWriter.Close()
    End Using

    Return xmlStr.ToString
End Function

Public Function XmlDeserializeObject(ByVal data As [String], ByVal objType As Type) As Object

    Dim xmlSer As New System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(objType)
    Dim reader As TextReader = New StringReader(data)

    Dim obj As New Object
    obj = DirectCast(xmlSer.Deserialize(reader), Object)
    Return obj
End Function

[C#]

public string XmlSerializeObject(object obj)
{
    string xmlStr = String.Empty;
    XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
    settings.Indent = false;
    settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
    settings.NewLineChars = String.Empty;
    settings.NewLineHandling = NewLineHandling.None;

    using (StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter())
    {
        using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stringWriter, settings))
        {
            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer( obj.GetType());
            serializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, obj);
            xmlStr = stringWriter.ToString();
            xmlWriter.Close();
        }
    }
    return xmlStr.ToString(); 
}

public object XmlDeserializeObject(string data, Type objType)
{
    XmlSerializer xmlSer = new XmlSerializer(objType);
    StringReader reader = new StringReader(data);

    object obj = new object();
    obj = (object)(xmlSer.Deserialize(reader));
    return obj;
}

使用StringWriter而不是StreamWriter:

public static string SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize)
{
    XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(toSerialize.GetType());

    using(StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter())
    {
        xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
        return textWriter.ToString();
    }
}

Note, it is important to use toSerialize.GetType() instead of typeof(T) in XmlSerializer constructor: if you use the first one the code covers all possible subclasses of T (which are valid for the method), while using the latter one will fail when passing a type derived from T.    Here is a link with some example code that motivate this statement, with XmlSerializer throwing an Exception when typeof(T) is used, because you pass an instance of a derived type to a method that calls SerializeObject that is defined in the derived type's base class: http://ideone.com/1Z5J1.

此外，Ideone使用Mono来执行代码;使用Microsoft . net运行时得到的实际异常与Ideone上显示的异常有不同的消息，但它同样失败。

public static string SerializeObject<T>(T objectToSerialize)
        {
            System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter bf = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();
            MemoryStream memStr = new MemoryStream();

            try
            {
                bf.Serialize(memStr, objectToSerialize);
                memStr.Position = 0;

                return Convert.ToBase64String(memStr.ToArray());
            }
            finally
            {
                memStr.Close();
            }
        }

        public static T DerializeObject<T>(string objectToDerialize)
        {
            System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter bf = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();
            byte[] byteArray = Convert.FromBase64String(objectToDerialize);
            MemoryStream memStr = new MemoryStream(byteArray);

            try
            {
                return (T)bf.Deserialize(memStr);
            }
            finally
            {
                memStr.Close();
            }
        }
