How to serialize everything

Question

One of my friends has an interesting problem. He has some complex objects stored in his session for some logging reason he has to serialize them all and persist them in the db.

We have tries XMLSerializer, NewtonSoft but we are unable to serialize 'everything'. Is there a way one can serialize anything and everything in an object?

For example, we are unable to serialize IList, IEnumerable, etc. type of properties.

Any suggestions at all?

Answer 1

You can't serialize "everything" because not everything is serializable.

In particular, you can't serialize an interface, like IList.
