Serialization in X++

Hello,

In AX 2009, I've added a reference (PIESClass) to a .NET class (PIESFile) which has namespace PIES.  I'm now using this reference to build an XML document which I'd like to serialize to a file.  But I'm not finding the right way to do this.  I'm trying this kind of thing:

System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(PIESClass.PIES));
 Error: The table does not contain this field.

System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(PIESClass));
Error: Variable PIESClass has not been declared 

I've found quite a bit of info online about serializing, but nothing that tells me exactly what "typeof" is looking for.  Help, please?

Thanks!
Carolee

    Thank you, Nitesh, but I don't think is quite what I need. I'm not using the AIF but System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.

    Your code would work as C# (if you used a correct type name), but not in X++. typeOf() in X++ is something completely different than typeOf() in C# and it won't return System.Type required by XmlSerializer.

    If you have an instance of PIES.PIESFile, call its GetType() method. If you can't get an instance, get the type by System.Type::GetType().
