Serialization/Deserialization of changed entity

[NewsBot]

I have a question regarding .net Serialization...

 

Heres an example to help illustrate my question.

 

What happens if I have*a custom business object similar to this:

 

[serializable]

public class Customer

{

*******public CustomerName {get{}set{}

}

 

 

and i build serialization/deserialization code for this entity so that it can be*written and read back from an*xml file.

(no problems so far..the world is round)

 

Now, I decide I need an extra field in my business entity and so I change it to this...

 

[serializable]

public class Customer

{

*******public CustomerName {get{}set{}

*******public CustomerPhone {get{}set{}

 

}

 

 

Now..can i still deserialize*the xml file that* I created before the object was modified?

 

thanks in advance!
