When I serialize an object to xml I am having some problem

[psshastri]

Hi,
When I am serializing my object to xml file in c#, my file is like this.
This line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
repeating after every element.My main element is lot
after the </Lot> ends again the above line is repeating.
So when I am deserializing my xml file, it is showing some error.How to avoid the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
multiple times.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Lot xmlns:xsd="

Looks like a loop problem. Where's the code that generates this file? This output doesn't tell us anything.
