How to produce XML output using WCF service?

Or else please add attribute [Serializable()] to class Payloads and use the below code to: 

Serialize(listObj)

public static string Serialize(object obj)

   var xs = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
   var xml = new StringWriter();
   xs.Serialize(xml, obj);
   return xml.ToString();
}
