Custom XML Serialization

Hi all,

I was wondering if it's possible to mix XmlSerialization and custom
serialization in a single class? For example:

<XmlSerializable( )> _
Class MyObject

'// Auto XML-Deserialize
<XmlElement("StaticMenu", GetType(StaticMenu))> _
Public Property Menus() As ArrayList
...
End Property


'// But I want to manually de-serialize this
Public Property Items() as ArrayList
...
End Property
End Class


Is this possible?

Thanks,
Jeremy
