Objects are serialized to a database using the .NET XML serializer. The object can change over time, and therefore multiple versions exist in the database at one time.
Any suggestions for the best way to construct your code, so that you can still deserialize this object into the latest version. (interfaces / maps / manual serialization etc.)

If data is not present on the local member, the system will retrieve that data from another member. This requires serialization for use cases such as: Adding key/value objects to a map. Putting items into a queue, set, or list.
Serialization allows the developer to save the state of an object and re-create it as needed, providing storage of objects as well as data exchange. Through serialization, a developer can perform actions such as: Sending the object to a remote application by using a web service.
Serialization is a mechanism of converting the state of an object into a byte stream. Deserialization is the reverse process where the byte stream is used to recreate the actual Java object in memory. This mechanism is used to persist the object. The byte stream created is platform independent.
Have a schema version number in the serialized object. Using custom deserialization, check the version attribute first, and if it turns out to be an old version, upgrade it to the latest schema before deserializing.
