I'd like to serialize a class to XML, assigning an XML attribute to it. Snippet:

    [XmlType(TypeName = "classmy")]
    public class MyClass2 : List<object>
    {
        [XmlAttribute(AttributeName = "myattr")]
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyConst
    {
        public MyConst()
        {
            MyClass2 myClass2 = new MyClass2 { 10, "abc" };

            myClass2.Name = "nomm";

            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyClass2));
            serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, myClass2);
        }
    }

But the resulting XML looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<classmy xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <anyType xsi:type="xsd:int">10</anyType>
  <anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">abc</anyType>
</classmy>

All well and good, with the only exception being that myClass2.Name is not serialized. I was expecting something in the line of

<classmy myattr="nomm" [...]>[...]</classmy>

... Why isn't that serialized, and how can it be?
