Parameters

objects: ICollection

A collection of objects to serialize.

Returns

Object

An object that contains the serialized state of the specified collection of objects.

Remarks

The returned object fully supports run-time serialization.

The object returned from this method contains live references to objects in the collection. This object can then be passed to any run-time serialization mechanism. The object itself serializes components the same way designers write source for them, by storing their state, property by property.
