Re: Serialize a class adding a stylesheet

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I can give it another shot. First, if you serialize a class, the class name
element is going to be the root element of the serialized class. Now, you
can certainly create an XML file from the class, but if you want the
style*** to appear before the class element, it can not be a member of the
class, but would have to be inserted into the XML file. What exactly is the
requirement you are trying to fulfill here? Because if serializing a class
is the requirement, you're barking up the wrong tree. But if creating an XML
document from a serialized class is your goal, that is certainly doable. The
XML document will not *be* the serialized class, but may *contain* the
serialized class.
