Why XML-Serializable class need a parameterless constructor

Question

I\'m writing code to do Xml serialization. With below function.

public static string SerializeToXml(object obj)
{
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSeria         


        

Answer 1

During an object's de-serialization, the class responsible for de-serializing an object creates an instance of the serialized class and then proceeds to populate the serialized fields and properties only after acquiring an instance to populate.

You can make your constructor private or internal if you want, just so long as it's parameterless.
