Small code snippents - ObjectToString


Sometimes is useful to display your object.
I wanted to display not only one item from object but whole object. Those can be quite big and not pleasant to display.

I have been pointed to the way, why not display it as xml.
and from this this came idea for this static serialize object.


So far i had no problem with this class. There is no exception trap, in order to let me know when some code has failed.

Nice class that I am using 

 public static string SerializeToString(object obj)
  {
   XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());

   using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter())
   {
    serializer.Serialize(writer, obj);

    return writer.ToString();
   }
  }
