[Mono-dev] serialization of structured data in ArrayList

[mirek]

when i compile the code below and i run it, i've got the following 
exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The type Car was 
not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify 
types that are not known statically.

can you help me, how can i solve it? how to serialize the non primitive 
type (ArrayList with the instances of the Car class)?

thanks
