Custom Serializer

Im currently trying to get a custom serializer to work (using alpha5). Because I encountered some issues (Deserializer method not called), I created a new xml test project and encountered a other issue. When deserializing a serialized object, I get an InvalidOperationException:

  HResult=0x80131509
  Message=The XmlReader state should be EndOfFile after this operation.
  Source=System.Xml.Linq

I’ve just published 2.0.0-alpha6 https://www.nuget.org/packages/ExtendedXmlSerializer/2.0.0-alpha6

sure thing, @wojtpl2 … I have checked in all my bug fixes. I will update the milestone to reflect the new number as well. 👍

And thanks for the encouragement @TLASZKIE. FWIW, I am using this project on what I am working on now and it is working like a champ. 😃 As an example, can you think of a single .NET serializer in existance that can serialize this class?

public sealed class Account : QueryBase
{
	public Account(Uri location, IList<Query> queries, QueryState state = QueryState.Active) : base(state)
	{
		Location = location;
		Key = key;
		Queries = queries;
	}

	public Uri Location { get; }

	public IList<Query> Queries { get; }
}

We have inheritance, list interface, and a parameterized constructor (with a default value no less!). All of these, in my experience, have caused problems or out-right destruction to any serializer that ventures to tackle it. EXSv2 was able to work with it easily. Very happy with how this has turned out.

I hope to have some more free time next week so that I can finish out the FluentAPI rework, and then documentation to finally get this thing launched.
