This is a code snippet which shows how to Serialize an ArrayList to XML. ArrayList contains objects of different types.

using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{

static void Main(string[] args)
{
AListWrapper wrapper = new AListWrapper();

XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(AListWrapper));

StreamWriter myWriter = new StreamWriter("c:\\myFileName.xml");

mySerializer.Serialize(myWriter, wrapper);
myWriter.Close();
}
}

public class Animal
{
public string Type { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}

public class Employee
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public double Salary { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot("ArrayList")]
public class AListWrapper
{
[XmlElement(Type = typeof(Employee)),
XmlElement(Type = typeof(Animal))]
public ArrayList list = new ArrayList();

public AListWrapper()
{
Animal animal = new Animal()
{
Age = 1,
Type = "Dog"
};

Employee emp = new Employee()
{
Address = "Address",
Name = "SomeName",

SharePoint 2010 Word Automation Services

In SharePoint 2010, you can add "Word Automation Services" from Central Admin as shown below

Once the service is in place, we can easily convert Word documents to PDF as shown in below snippet

private voidConvertDocFileToPDF(SPFile filex)
{           
    ConversionJobSettings settings = newConversionJobSettings();
    settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
    ConversionJob job = newConversionJob(ConfigurationHelper.Instance.DocumentConversionService, settings);   
    job.UserToken = SPUserToken.SystemAccount;
    stringpdfFile = filex.Url.Replace("docx", "pdf");
    job.AddFile("http://<your site URL>/"+ filex.Url, "http://<your site URL>/"+ pdfFile);
    job.Start();
}

Ensure to add reference to “Microsoft.Office.Word.Server” present under 14 hive “ISAPI” folder.

To test this, run “Word Automation Services Timer Job”
