C # serialize and deserialize objects in XML format

Class of the object to be serialized:

[Serializable]
Public class person
{
Private string name;
Public string name
{
Get
{
Return name;
}
Set
{
Name = value;
}
}
Public String sex;
Public int age = 31;
Public Course [] courses;

Public Person ()
{
}
Public Person (string name)
{
Name = Name;
Sex = 'male ';
}
}
[Serializable]
Public class course
{
Public string name;
[Xmlignore] Public String description;
Public Course ()
{
}
Public Course (string name, string description)
{
Name = Name;
Description = description;
}
}

Test classes for serialization and deserialization:

Class Test
{
// Serialization
Public void serialiaze ()
{
Person c = new person ('cyj ')
C. Courses = new course [2];
C. Courses [0] = New Course ('English ', 'communication tools ')
C. Courses [1] = New Course ('mat', 'natural scientifically ')

xmlserializer xs = new xmlserializer (typeof (person);
stream = new filestream ('C: \ CYJ. xml', filemode. create, fileaccess. write, fileshare. readwrite);
Xs. serialize (stream, c);
stream. close ();
}< br> // deserialization
Public void deserialize ()
{< br> xmlserializer xs = new xmlserializer (typeof (person);
stream = new filestream ('C: \ CYJ. xml', filemode. open, fileaccess. read, fileshare. readwrite);
person P = (person) XS. deserialize (Stream);
console. writeline (P. name);
console. writeline (P. age. tostring ();
console. writeline (P. courses. length. tostring ();
console. read ();
}< BR >}

the formatted XML document content is:
