XMl serialization

[saquib189]

Hi, I'm creating a simple project for xml serialization in the reference of Microsoft press MCTS .net 2.0 by Tony Northup. ok In this application I create a Class Shopping Cart That has 4 public members and a parameterless constructor because it mentioned that private and protected members are skipped during serialization. (is it true). and how can i put instance of the class in main method because the class contains parameterless constructor. i'll will show the example below:

Public Class ShoppingCartItem
       
        Public item As Integer
        Public Price As Double
        Public Rate As Integer
        Public total As Double

        Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New()

        End Sub

    End Class

thank you
