Re: [Simple-support] Providing Extra Type Information to the Serialization Engine

[Azubuko O. <buk...@gm...>]

Hey Niall,

UnionList looks cool but I'm not sure how it helps me. The problem is I have
a base class with a generic collection (see below). Subclasses
specialize this generic parameter but SimpleXml complains that it doesn't
know the type of the inherited collection being de/serialized.
