C# ObservableCollection Serialization

Question

I've got such a class:

public class ProfileElementList : ObservableCollection<ProfileElement>
{
    public string BezierCurve { get; set; }
    public string BezierCurveLimit { get; set; }
}

It is serialized fine, except BezierCurve and BezierCurveLimit are not present in XML.

What should I do to have them?

What are the definitions of `BezierCurve` and `BezierCurveLimit`? — Ron Beyer, Jun 05 '15 at 15:29
Check parent class and make sure object are public. Only public variables get serialized. The child class object will be ignored if the parent(s) aren't public. — jdweng, Jun 05 '15 at 16:22
If you are using [`XmlSerializer`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/58a18dwa%28v=vs.110%29.aspx), then this is a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5069099/when-a-class-is-inherited-from-list-xmlserializer-doesnt-serialize-other-att. — dbc, Jun 06 '15 at 00:43

Ok, I did it like this:

    public class ProfileElementList
{
    public ProfileElementList() { }
    public ObservableCollection<ProfileElement> ProfileElements = new ObservableCollection<ProfileElement>();
    public BezierViewModel BezierCurve { get; set; }
    public BezierViewModel BezierCurveLimit { get; set; }
}

It works
