How to set up an XML serializer?

Question

.NET

Good afternoon.
Sending an XML request to a Web server. He wants boolean true to be encoded as "Y", false as "N". As a result, the serializable class class looks like

public string MyBool
{
  get{ return _myBool;}
  set
  {
    if(value == "Y" || value == "N"){ _myBool = value;}
    else {throw new Exception();}
  }
}

Is there a way to create a boolean property public bool MyBoolthat would (de)serialize to a string according to the above rule?

[XmlIgnore]
public bool MyValue { get; set; }

/// <summary>Get a value purely for serialization purposes</summary>
[XmlElement("MyValue")]
public string MyValueSerialize
{
    get { return this.MyValue ? "1" : "0" }
    set { this.MyValue = XmlConvert.ToBoolean(value); }
}

although ..... practically does not differ from yours
