XML and objects

[Guest]

Is there a way to specify what members in a class or struct that I can pass
to XML methods that are written to file? I want to just pass the object and
it just picks off the ones i specify without having to have a custom method
per object layout

If you are referring to XML serialization, yes, there is a way.
Look at the [XMLIgnore] attribute for making specific fields not
serializable. There are also lots more attributes that tess the XML
serialization object what to do and how to do it.
