What does your implementation of the custom collection look like ? Your
custom collection implement an indexer, something like (adapted from the C#
Programmer's Reference):
public Foobar this [int index] // indexer declaration
{
get
{
// Check the index limits
if (index < 0 || index >= 100)
return 0;
else
return myArray[index];
}
set
{
if (!(index < 0 || index >= 100))
myArray[index] = value;
}
}

Subject: [DOTNET] Serializing collectionbase into xml

> [XmlArrayItem( ElementName="Foobar", Type=typeof(Foobar) )]
> public Foobars Foobars

> class Foobars : CollectionBase

> [XmlRoot( "Foobar", Namespace="http://www.foo.com";, ElementName="Foobar",
> IsNulllable = false) ]
> class Foobar
> {
> public int i;
> public short s;

> When try to create an instance of the XmlSerializer, i am getting an
