That's just crazy talk; if the class doesn't implement IXmlSerializable then clearly it can't be serialized to XML, so don't try.

If (Me Is Nothing) Then
    ' I don't exist, so I can't think (straight? at all?)
End If

You won't endorse the use of multiple return in one function, no?
And surly not even name the dreaded word GOTO?
