XML deserializer (Iserialzable)

I have a class in c# that implements Iserialzable.

I'm using a XMLSerializer that produces a XML from instance of that class.

I get the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <SessionConfiguration>
    <RemoteMachineName>HV-BENDA</RemoteMachineName>
  </SessionConfiguration>
  <SessionsCredentialsList>
    <CredentialsItem>
      <User>test0</User>
      <Password>Pa$$word1</Password>
    </CredentialsItem>
    <CredentialsItem>
      <User>test1</User>
      <Password>Pa$$word1</Password>
    </CredentialsItem>
    <CredentialsItem>
      <User>test2</User>
      <Password>Pa$$word1</Password>
    </CredentialsItem>
    <CredentialsItem>
      <User>test3</User>
      <Password>Pa$$word1</Password>
    </CredentialsItem>
    <CredentialsItem>
      <User>test4</User>
      <Password>Pa$$word1</Password>
    </CredentialsItem>
  </SessionsCredentialsList>
  <TIME_OUT />
  <LOCAL_USERS_NUM>5</LOCAL_USERS_NUM>
</Configuration>

At some later point in the code I use a XMLSerializer aga开发者_开发百科in to deserial that XML document.

and I get the following error:

{"There is an error in XML document (1, 1)."}

Inner exception:

{"Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."}

Do someone knows wat could be the problem?

All the best

Strangely using only stream didn't work. Using StreamReader and StreamWriter solved it.

Thanks

Usage of dollar sign might cause problems. Try using $ instead.
