I would like to reuse the XmlSerializer for a class type. Currently, I create a static copy of the XmlSerializer. Recently, I found the XmlSerializerFactory class in the .net 2.0. It seems a good class to use to create xmlserializer. But, the documents said " This class supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code."
So my question is: should I use XmlSerializerFactory to create XmlSerializer Is it thread safe Do XmlSerializerFactory cache the XmlSerializer it creates, so every time I call Create method, the XmlSerializerFactory do not recreate the XmlSerializer
Thank you very much

Just use the constructor for the XmlSerializer and keep a reference to it if you are going to reuse it.
If you are in a position where you can’t keep a reference to it you should make a static class that can hold it. Like:
public static class XmlSerializer<T>
{
public static XmlSerializer
Serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
}
