可以将下面的函数复制到任何对象，以使用System.Xml名称空间添加XML保存函数。

/// <summary>
/// Saves to an xml file
/// </summary>
/// <param name="FileName">File path of the new xml file</param>
public void Save(string FileName)
{
    using (var writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(FileName))
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());
        serializer.Serialize(writer, this);
        writer.Flush();
    }
}

要从保存的文件创建对象，添加以下函数并将[ObjectType]替换为要创建的对象类型。

/// <summary>
/// Load an object from an xml file
/// </summary>
/// <param name="FileName">Xml file name</param>
/// <returns>The object created from the xml file</returns>
public static [ObjectType] Load(string FileName)
{
    using (var stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(FileName))
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof([ObjectType]));
        return serializer.Deserialize(stream) as [ObjectType];
    }
}

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);
    }

这里有一个关于如何做到这一点的很好的教程

基本上应该使用System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer类来做到这一点。

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);
    }
}

必须使用XmlSerializer进行XML序列化。下面是一个示例代码片段。

 XmlSerializer xsSubmit = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject));
 var subReq = new MyObject();
 var xml = "";

 using(var sww = new StringWriter())
 {
     using(XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(sww))
     {
         xsSubmit.Serialize(writer, subReq);
         xml = sww.ToString(); // Your XML
     }
 }

根据泛型类的@kiquenet请求:

public class MySerializer<T> where T : class
{
    public static string Serialize(T obj)
    {
        XmlSerializer xsSubmit = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        using (var sww = new StringWriter())
        {
            using (XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(sww) { Formatting = Formatting.Indented })
            {
                xsSubmit.Serialize(writer, obj);
                return sww.ToString();
            }
        }
    }
}

用法:

string xmlMessage = MySerializer<MyClass>.Serialize(myObj);

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。
