Try it like this:

        string input = @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?><Person><Name>Job</Name><Address>10dcalp</Address><Age>12</Age></Person>";
        XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(input);
        XElement age = doc.Root.Element("Age");
        XComment comm = new XComment("This is comment before Age");
        age.AddBeforeSelf(comm);

This code gets the document, finds the element named "Age" which is expected to be under the root element ("Person") and adds comment before it.

You can use XmlWriter to write the comment in following way:

    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(stream);
    writer.WriteStartDocument();
    writer.WriteComment("Add comment here");

Now, you serialize XmlWriter instance through your serializer.
