Xml Serialization of Custom Collections deriving from CollectionBase.

Hi,

I have seen several posts on the net on the following issue of xml serialization of custom collection classes deriving from CollectionBase.

"you must implement a default accessor on AccountCollection because it inherits from ICollection”.

System.InvalidOperationException: You must implement adefaultaccessor on
MyNamespace.MyClassList because it inherits fromICollection

http://www.topxml.com/ASPNET-Webservices/rn-245057_ICollection-default-accessor.aspx

And the obivous answer for all these problems is implementing the "default accessor" for your custom class. But no where I could find details on, why does the xmlserializer need a default acceessor implementation.

I would like to know the working of xmlserailizer when serailizing the custom collection, and why and how it uses the deault accessor for serailization.

Thanks in advance,

Laxmi.
