C# XML Problem

[flnhst]

I have these classes:

	public class CHardware
	{
        [XmlElement("HardwareID")]
        public int HardwareID;
        [XmlElement("HardwareName")]
        public string HardwareName;
        [XmlElement("HardwareType")]
        public string HardwareType;
        [XmlElement("HardwareCost")]
        public int HardwareCost;

        [XmlElement("Params")]
        public HybridDictionary Params;

		public CHardware()
		{
			Params = new HybridDictionary();
		}
	}

	[XmlRoot("HardwareList")]
    public class CHardwareList
	{
        [XmlArray("Hardwares")]
        [XmlArrayItem("Hardware", typeof(CHardware))]
        CHardware[] HardwareList;

        [XmlElement("Length")]
        int Length;

		public CHardwareList()
		{	
			HardwareList = new CHardware[128];

			Length = 0;
		}
    // ... Functions ...
    }

But everytime i serialize CHardwareList, the file ALWAYS looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<HardwareList xmlns:xsi="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"[/URL] xmlns:xsd="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"[/URL] />

Whatever i try there is nothing to be found in the file but this. Is there any solution to this?

You can add additional namespaces via the XmlSerializerNamespaces class, but I don't think you can remove those.

What i mean when i serialize a instance of the class CHardwareList (With some data, etc), There is nothing in the XML file but those lines.

Can you post your code that's doing the serialization?

		public void WriteToFile(CHardwareList HardwareList, FileMode FMode)
		{
			Stream stream = File.Open(FileName, FMode);
                        XmlSerializer bformatter = new XmlSerializer(typeof(CHardwareList));

			bformatter.Serialize(stream, HardwareList);

			stream.Close();
		}

This is the code.
