XML Serialization with C# (update)

This is now my preferred way to serialize an object. You can choose the XML Serializer and the DataContract Serializer;


public class XmlSerializer
{
   public static MemoryStream SerializeToMemoryStream<T>(T t)
   {
      var memorystream = new MemoryStream();
      var s = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof (T));

      xmlserializer.Serialize(XmlWriter.Create(memorystream), t);

      memorystream.Flush();
      memorystream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

      return memorystream;
   }

   public static string SerializeToString<T>(T t)
   {
      return SerializeToString(t, Encoding.UTF8);
   }

   public static string SerializeToString<T>(T t, Encoding encoding)
   {
      var settingsString = encoding.GetString(SerializeToMemoryStream(t).ToArray());
      return settingsString;
   }
}

        public class DatacontractSerializer
        {
            public static MemoryStream SerializeToMemoryStream<T>(T t)
            {
                var stream = new MemoryStream();
                var s = new System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
                s.WriteObject(XmlWriter.Create(stream), t);
                stream.Flush();
                stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                return stream;
            }

            public static string SerializeToString<T>(T t)
            {
                return SerializeToString(t, Encoding.UTF8);
            }

            public static string SerializeToString<T>(T t, Encoding encoding)
            {
                var settingsString = encoding.GetString(SerializeToMemoryStream(t).ToArray());
                return settingsString;
            }
        }
    }
