这比调用类的ToString方法要复杂一些，但也不是很复杂。

下面是一个简单的下拉函数，可以用来序列化任何类型的对象。它返回一个包含序列化XML内容的字符串:

public string SerializeObject(object obj)
{
    System.Xml.XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream()) {
        serializer.Serialize(ms, obj);
        ms.Position = 0;
        xmlDoc.Load(ms);
        return xmlDoc.InnerXml;
    }
}

以上所有点赞的答案都是正确的。这是最简单的版本:

private string Serialize(Object o)
{
    using (var writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        new XmlSerializer(o.GetType()).Serialize(writer, o);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

扩展类:

using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace MyProj.Extensions
{
    public static class XmlExtension
    {
        public static string Serialize<T>(this T value)
        {
            if (value == null) return string.Empty;

            var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (var stringWriter = new StringWriter())
            {
                using (var xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stringWriter,new XmlWriterSettings{Indent = true}))
                {
                    xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, value);
                    return stringWriter.ToString();
                }    
            }
        }
    }
}

用法:

Foo foo = new Foo{MyProperty="I have been serialized"};

string xml = foo.Serialize();

只是引用名称空间持有您的扩展方法在文件中，你想使用它，它将工作(在我的例子中，它将是:使用myproject . extensions;)

请注意，如果您想使扩展方法只特定于一个特定的类(例如。， Foo)，你可以在扩展方法中替换T参数。

序列化(这个Foo值){…}

基于上述解决方案，这里有一个扩展类，您可以使用它序列化和反序列化任何对象。任何其他XML属性都由您决定。

就像这样使用它:

        string s = new MyObject().Serialize(); // to serialize into a string
        MyObject b = s.Deserialize<MyObject>();// deserialize from a string



internal static class Extensions
{
    public static T Deserialize<T>(this string value)
    {
        var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

        return (T)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(value));
    }

    public static string Serialize<T>(this T value)
    {
        if (value == null)
            return string.Empty;

        var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

        using (var stringWriter = new StringWriter())
        {
            using (var xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stringWriter, new XmlWriterSettings { Indent = true }))
            {
                xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, value);
                return stringWriter.ToString();
            }
        }
    }
}

这比调用类的ToString方法要复杂一些，但也不是很复杂。

下面是一个简单的下拉函数，可以用来序列化任何类型的对象。它返回一个包含序列化XML内容的字符串:

public string SerializeObject(object obj)
{
    System.Xml.XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream()) {
        serializer.Serialize(ms, obj);
        ms.Position = 0;
        xmlDoc.Load(ms);
        return xmlDoc.InnerXml;
    }
}

要序列化一个对象，请执行:

 using (StreamWriter myWriter = new StreamWriter(path, false))
 {
     XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(your_object_type));
     mySerializer.Serialize(myWriter, objectToSerialize);
 }

还要记住，要使XmlSerializer工作，需要一个无参数构造函数。
