XML : Xml Serialization Issue on C#, Is there any available built-in way?

I have a C# class like this which I want to serialize to XML using XmlSerializer:

  [Serializable]  public class MyClass  {      public string Dat = "DatVal"; //DatVal is not an actual value      public string Sol = "SolVal";      public string Opt = "OptVal";      public string Eqp = "EqpVal";      public string Ledev = "LedevVal";      public string Uldev = "Uldev";      public string Flt = "FltVal";      public string TmptCfg = "TmptCfgVal";      //Some other stuffs below, not string  }    

Now, the Xml serialization works fine with the class above. However, as the 8 items of the class above are actually of the same type string. And currently I use them like this

  string name = myClass.Dat; //then I will get DatVal    

While they actually refer to the same type of item, which is table name (I have set of tables functioned as "Dat", "Sol", "Opt", "Eqp", etc whose actual names come from other developers - thus come "DatVal", "SolVal", "OptVal", "EqpVal", etc..)

Thus, I am thinking of serializing them using List of KVP such that when I need to call any of them, I would simply need to do this

  string name = myClass.MyList["Dat"]; //then I will get "DatVal"    

Then, as I learn more, I understand that KVP cannot be meaningfully serialized.

My question is, how do we normally serialize such case if not using KVP? Is there any built-in way available to serialize such case?
