[Mono-list] Problem with XML-Serialization

[Blackskyliner]

I serialize this class via the XML Serializer:


class XMLStringSerializer
    {
        public static string Serialize<T>(T entity)
        {
            return Serialize(entity, true);
        }

        public static string Serialize<T>(T entity, bool noNewLine)
        {
            StringBuilder outputXml = new StringBuilder();

            if (typeof(T).IsSerializable)
            {
                XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
                using (TextWriter stream = new StringWriter(outputXml))
                {
                    ser.Serialize(stream, entity);
                }
                if (noNewLine)
                    return outputXml.ToString().Replace(Environment.NewLine,
"");
                else
                    return outputXml.ToString();
            }

            return null;
        }

        public static T Deserialize<T>(string xml)
        {
            T entity;

            if (typeof(T).IsSerializable)
            {
                XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
                using (TextReader stream = new StringReader(xml))
                {
                    entity = (T)ser.Deserialize(stream);
                }

                return entity;
            }

            return default(T);
        }
    }
