consider:

public class test
{
public string[] az;
public test()
{ az = new string[2]; az[0] = "0"; az[1] = "1";}
}

This will serialize just fine but:

public class test
{
private string[] az;
public string[] AZ
{
get { return az; }
}
public test()
{ az = new string[2]; az[0] = "0"; az[1] = "1";}
}

does not., no matter what Xml_xyz_Attribute tag I use either. Is this
possible?

Are you using XMLSerializer or BinaryFormatter?

Try:

public string[] AZ
{
get { return az; }
set { az = value; }
}

The serializer won't bother storing anything that can't roundtrip.
Once it sees that it can put AZ back where it found it, it will include
it in your XML.
