To get the above xml after xml serialization from my class I wrote few class to get the job done.

My full c# code is:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace XML2List
{
public partial class ShipMain : Form
{
    public ShipMain()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public string Serialize<T>(T obj)
    {
        string xmlString = null;

        try
        {
            MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
            XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(memoryStream, Encoding.UTF8);
            xs.Serialize(xmlTextWriter, obj);
            memoryStream = (MemoryStream)xmlTextWriter.BaseStream;
            xmlString = UTF8ByteArrayToString(memoryStream.ToArray()); return xmlString;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            string xx = ex.Message.ToString();
        }
        return xmlString;
    }

    public string UTF8ByteArrayToString(byte[] characters)
    {
        UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
        string constructedString = encoding.GetString(characters);
        return (constructedString);
    }

    private void ShipMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

The above code i wrote to get the xml output which i gave at the top. when i am trying to serialize the class then i am getting. when XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)); the line execute then exception occur. the error is -- "There was an error reflecting type 'XML2List.OpenShipments'."

i am not being able to detect why the error occur at the time of xml serialization. event i am not sure the way i wrote the class that will right to generate my desired xml which i have shown at the top.

so please some one tell me how to fix the error and get the xml after serialization. also tell me will i get my desired xml output after the serialization the way i wrote the code.

please discuss in detail.

You need to check inner exceptions.
