One little correction: for ASP.NET services and what you can and can't serialize, if your class implements IXmlSerializable, you can handle the serialization however you wish - private fields, dictionaries, etc. It's a bit faffy to do compared to using attributes, but it works.
The serializers that the framework generate simply delegate the XML generation to your ReadXml/WriteXml methods - it's down to you to get it right (get the framework to generate the .cs file for you (diagnostics setting in your config file), and you'll see what I mean.
