OK; that helps a bit; now, I've tried that with:
using Google.Protobuf;
using SCL.PC;
using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
static class P
{
static void Main()
{
var obj = new ClientIdentifier
{
Context = ClientIdentifier.Types.Context.Cfid,
Value = ByteString.CopyFrom(00, 01, 02, 03)
};
var ser = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
ser.Serialize(Console.Out, obj);
}
}

I **cannot** reproduce the error you're seeing, but I *do* get another
error, as shown below.
This tells me, ultimately, that your model *isn't going to work with
XmlSerializer*. And that's fine - the code is only *tested* against the
specific API it is designed for - Google's protobuf library in this case.
If XmlSerializer on some down-level version of .NET has *even more*
problems, that's... unexpected, but not amazingly surprising.
If you want to use multiple serializers, usually you should have a
serialization DTO model *per serializer* - one that is designed for use
with that serializer.
However, there may be another option *if you want*. Google's generated code
that is contributing to the pain here. Looking at your generated code, it
looks like your schema is something like:
syntax = "proto3";
message ClientIdentifier {
Context context = 1;
bytes value = 2;
}
enum Context {
Cfid = 0;
Csn = 1;
}
Now, I can run that through protobuf-net's tooling (
https://protogen.marcgravell.com/#g50e914251fc5d16b94cdc695c8ebac20) which
gives me the simpler code (attached); if I then run that with the tweaked
code:
static class P
{
static void Main()
{
var obj = new ClientIdentifier
{
Context = Context.Cfid,
Value = new byte[] { 00, 01, 02, 03 }
};
var ser = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
ser.Serialize(Console.Out, obj);
}
}
it now all works fine in my version of .NET, and I'm *guessing* that it'll
work in yours too. This is using a **different library**, specifically
protobuf-net rather than Google.ProtoBuf, but: the key point here is that
they both implement the same specification so should be interchangeable.
Up to you!
