Collection Class Serialization

Can anyone point me to a collection class that has
serialization/deserialization with it - preferably in XML.

I know this can't be done with a collection that inherits from
CollectionBase, but I'm hoping someone has another collection class out
there.

Thanks;
Michael

Michael,

Both arraylist and hashtable can be serialized with a binaryformatter. I
think that arraylist can also be serialized as xml.

I'm surprised that collectionbase is not serializable. Are you sure about
that?

It is serializable and marked as such; however I am having trouble
serializing it using custom serialization because I can't call
mybase.GetObjectData for it.
