Serializing Generic Class in C#



i have a problem when trying to serialize an object in C# to XML. I figured out it goes wrong when exporting this class:



[XmlInclude(typeof(CountryData))]
[XmlInclude(typeof(ManufacturerData))]
[XmlInclude(typeof(ProgramData))]

[Serializable()]
public class DeliveryTimeList<T> where T : IDeliveryTimeData
{
private DataTable _data;
public DataTable Data
{
get { return _data; }
set { _data = value; }
}

public DeliveryTimeList()
{
_data = new DataTable();
}

public void Add(T data)
{
// Not in Use
//_data.Rows.Add(data.ItemArray());
}
}


The class is generic because the next step is to alter the DataTable at the creation of the class and it will contain a List. The classes CountryData, Manufacturer and ProgramData implement the interface IDeliveryTimeData.


I get a System.InvalidOperationException with the following description: Beim Generieren des XML-Dokuments ist ein Fehler aufgetreten (<- German) which roughly translater There was an Error during generation of the XML Document. I don't know why it isn't serializing but i expect that the problem has something to do with that the class is generic.


Has anybody a clue what i am doing wrong ?
