    XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings(); 
    // You might want to wrap these in #if DEBUG's 
    settings.Indent = true; 
    settings.NewLineOnAttributes = true; 
    // this gets rid of the XML version 
    settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment; 
    // buffer to a stringbuilder 
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); 
    XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(sb, settings); 
    // Need moar documentation on the manager, plox MSDN 
    XamlDesignerSerializationManager manager = new XamlDesignerSerializationManager(writer); 
    manager.XamlWriterMode = XamlWriterMode.Expression; 
    // its extremely rare for this to throw an exception 
    XamlWriter.Save(toSerialize, manager); 

    return sb.ToString(); 
}
