I have a List(Of KeyValuePair(Of String, Object)) that i need to serialize to a XML string. Note that Object can be one of i. ArrayList ii.String I am using .net framework 4.5 .

I tried looking at examples available but am unable to implement it myself. Can someone post some kind of simple example. I am a newbie.

        Dim lst As List(Of KeyValuePair(Of String, Object)) = fvPairs.ToList
        Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(lst.GetType)
        Dim stringWriter As StringWriter = New StringWriter()
        serializer.Serialize(stringWriter, lst)
