I have a custom object which I'm serializing.  There's a string property 
which contains non-xml-safe HTML text.  When I try to deserialize, I get a 
reflection exception if it hits the property.

        Dim xmlFact As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializerFactory
        Dim LeftXML As Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer = 
xmlFact.CreateSerializer(Me.GetType)
        Dim myxml As System.IO.TextReader = New IO.StringReader(XML)
        Dim returnProductListItem As ProductListItem = 
CType(LeftXML.Deserialize(myxml), ProductListItem)


What I'd like is if during the serialization process, the property was 
somehow called from within a wrapper...

I fumbled around a bit, hoping this would work:

    '\\ Use HTMLExtendedSpecs property for day-to-day use:
    '\\ ignore for XML, because we're using HTMLComments_Deserialization 
instead
    <Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnore()> _
    Public Property HTMLExtendedSpecs() As String
        Get
            Return m_strHTMLExtendedSpecs
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            m_strHTMLExtendedSpecs = Value
        End Set
    End Property


    '\\ when the serializer tries to read this property, serialize it as 
HTMLExtendedSpecs
    <Xml.Serialization.XmlElement("HTMLExtendedSpecs")> _
    Public ReadOnly Property HTMLExtendedSpecs_Deserialization() As String
        Get
            Return MakeXMLSafe(Me.HTMLExtendedSpecs)
        End Get
    End Property



This didn't work.  What I was hoping for was to provide the serialization 
classes to access the property differently.

Any suggestions?
