I am serializing an object in my ASP.net MVC program to an xml string like this;

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(mytype));
s.Serialize(sw, myData);

Now this give me this as the first 2 lines;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<GetCustomerName xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

my question is, How can I change the xmlns and the encoding type, when serializing?

Thanks
