Serializing an object to XML using C#

Hi All, Recently did I work on Serialization of Objects in my project and understood that it was quite easy to do so.. To sum it up , I will just wirte the code in here .

class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Person p = new Person();

            p.FirstName = "Priti";

            p.MI = "h";

            p.LastName = "Desai";

            p.zipcode = 32045;

            //  XmlSerializer class that serializes an object to XML. When you create an   

               instance of  XmlSerializer, you pass the type of the class that you want to

              serialize into its constructor:

            System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer x = new

            System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(p.GetType());

            //Serialize is overloaded and can send output to a TextWriter, Stream, or    

            XMLWriter object

            StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("c:/p.xml");

            x.Serialize(Console.Out, p);

            x.Serialize(writer, p);

            Console.WriteLine();

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }

    public class Person

    {

        public string FirstName;

        public string MI;

        public string LastName;

        public int zipcode;

    }
