Error in XML

[roflshark]

Hi, I'm using .net 4.0

I'm trying to use serialization to save my array of monster and got this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Xml.dll

Additional information: There was an error generating the XML document.



Here's my code:

public void Save()
{
using (IsolatedStorageFile saveGameFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream SaveGameStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("monster.dat", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, saveGameFile))
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Monster>));
serializer.Serialize(SaveGameStream, _lMonster);
}
}

Nothing looks obviously wrong upon code review (though obviously there is since it throw an exception...)

Which line throws the exception? I assume the call to serializer.Serialize(...)?

Failing that, is there a reason you are using XMLSerialization? Why not give binary serialization a try? It's slightly more challenging to implement, but offers some benefits.

Sorry I can't be of more help!
