IXMLSerializer Interface (ArcObjects .NET 10.5 SDK)
ArcObjects Library Reference (System)  

IXMLSerializer Interface

Provides access to members that control the XML serialization and deserialization of objects.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

The XMLSerializer interface allows you to serialize and deserialize objects. The Serializer will call an instance of the private SerializeData and QI the objects for IXMLSerialize  and call Serialize. Once the serialization is complete you ask the SerializeData to write the properties it holds using XMLWriter. The Deserialization is the opposite process and uses XMLReader.

Method LoadFromString Loads an object from an XML string.
