【Serialization】Xml Serialize Helper

using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Microsoft.PatchCreationService.Utilities
{
    public static class XmlSerializeHelper
    {
        public static void Serialize<T>(string fileName,T target)
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName,FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
            {
                xmlSerializer.Serialize(stream,target);
            };
        }

        public static T Deserialize<T>(string fileName)
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName,FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
            {
                return (T)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(stream);
            };
        }
    }
}

And if you want to ignore some fields when serializing an object,please put an "[XmlIgnore]" attribute above the fields.

For example:

[ XmlIgnore ]

public string NewFilePath;
