That's a malformed XML you want, not possible to obtain it via XmlSerializer, but you can change ArrayOfPersno element name to smothing else:

example:

XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Person[]),
                                     new XmlRootAttribute("Persons"));

will give you:

  
    John
    Smith
