Question

I am using xml-serialization in my project to serialize and deserialize objects based on an xml schema. I used the xsd tool to create classes to use when serializing / deserializing the objects.

When I go to serialize the object before sending, I am forced to set the *Specified property to true in order to force the serializer to serialize all propeties that are not of type string.

Is there a way to force the serialization of all properties without having to set the *Specified property to true?

The FooSpecified property is used to control whether the Foo property must be serialized. If you always want to serialize the property, just remove the FooSpecified property.
