Dom,
The XML serializer can not handle abstract or interface references
because when deserializing the object, it will not know which type to create
and then populate with values.
If you want to serialize your objects in XML format and be able to
handle this, then you will have to use the SoapFormatter to serialize the
class.
Hope this helps.
