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();
            }
        }
    }
}

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。

我有一个简单的方法来序列化一个对象到XML使用c#，它的工作很棒，它是高度可重用的。我知道这是一个较老的帖子，但我想发布这个帖子，因为有人可能会发现这对他们有帮助。

下面是我如何调用该方法:

var objectToSerialize = new MyObject();
var xmlString = objectToSerialize.ToXmlString();

下面是完成这项工作的类:

注意:由于这些是扩展方法，它们需要在静态类中。

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

public static class XmlTools
{
    public static string ToXmlString<T>(this T input)
    {
        using (var writer = new StringWriter())
        {
            input.ToXml(writer);
            return writer.ToString();
        }
    }

    private static void ToXml<T>(this T objectToSerialize, StringWriter writer)
    {
        new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)).Serialize(writer, objectToSerialize);
    }
}

或者你可以把这个方法添加到你的对象中:

    public void Save(string filename)
    {
        var ser = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());
        using (var stream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create))
            ser.Serialize(stream, this);
    }

现在可能太晚了，但是只有用户定义的命名空间是序列化的:

public static string XmlSerialize<T>(this T obj) where T : class
        {
            Type serialType = typeof(T);
            var xsSubmit = new XmlSerializer(serialType);

            XmlWriterSettings xws = new XmlWriterSettings() { OmitXmlDeclaration = true, Indent = true };
            

            var Namespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(new XmlQualifiedName[] {           
            new XmlQualifiedName(string.Empty,  GetXmlNameSpace(serialType) ?? string.Empty )


        });
 private static string GetXmlNameSpace(Type target)
        {
            XmlRootAttribute attribute = (XmlRootAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(target, typeof(XmlRootAttribute));
            return attribute == null ? null : attribute.Namespace;
        }

并在自定义类中定义命名空间

 [XmlRoot("IdentityTerminal",Namespace = "http://my-name-space/XMLSchema")]
   
    public class IdentityTerminal
    {
    }

这段代码允许只使用用户定义的名称空间，而忽略默认的名称空间。

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();
    }
}
