Serializing Generic class objects

I am trying to serialize and deserialize a List of Interface like List;
There are some generic classes that inherit this interface like below:
public class BasicQuery<T> : IQuery
{
public T Value{get;set;}
}
I have created several instances of BasicQuery for different datatypes and added to the list
List<IQuery> ListOfQueries = new List<IQuery>();
BasicQuery<int> q1 = new BasicQuery<int>(); q1.Value = 100;
ListOfQueries.Add(q1);
BasicQuery<string> q2 = new BasicQuery<string>(); q2.Value="Test";
ListOfQueries.Add(q2);
My question is how to serialize and deserialize the List of interfaces to xml which is ineherited by generic child classes.
I searched around and found one very useful link https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38930/XML-Serialization-of-a-Class-Inherited-from-Generi?msg=3159064#xx3159064xx .
But that still do not solve my problem. Please suggest.

You can't serialize a member whose declared type is an interface, or a collection of values whose declared type is an interface. For confirmation and alternatives, see XML serialization of interface property. You can, however, serialize a class hierarchy when the type being serialized is abstract, as long as it is not an interface. For how, see Using XmlSerializer to serialize derived classes.

In that case, also can you serialize and deserialize generic class types, as in my code.

Yes you can serialize generics, but if the generic parameter is an interface it will not work if there are any serializable members or values of the same type, e.g. ifTis an interfaceISomeInterfacethenBasicQuery<ISomeInterface>will not be serializable byXmlSerializer, becausepublic public ISomeInterface Valuewill not be serializable. But to give a full answer to your question I would need to see a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. As it is your question is missing the definition forIQueryand so doesn't compile or reproduce your problem.

IQuery could be any random interface, lets saypublic Interface IQuery { string Name{get;set;} string Description{get;set} }
