Parameterless constructor when using XmlSerializer

Question

I'm currently trying to copy (by use of code) a .xml file and have approached it many different ways. This way however seems to be the one I get the most as i have I've it before but to create a console.writeline output. I can't seem to get it to work for a console.out when producing the .xml layout. It gives me the following error

"cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor"

please could anyone help me with this.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
    const string FILENAME = @"SmallResults.xml";
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<BasicEvent> NewBasicEvent = new List<BasicEvent>();
        XmlTextReader fileReader = new XmlTextReader("SmallResults.xml");
        XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
        xml.Load(fileReader);
        XmlNodeList BasicEvents = xml.SelectNodes("/HiP-HOPS_Results/FaultTrees/FMEA/Component/Events/BasicEvent");
        if (BasicEvents != null)
        {
            XmlNode[] nodearray = BasicEvents.Cast<XmlNode>().ToArray();
            for (int i = 0; i < BasicEvents.Count; i++)
            {
                NewBasicEvent.Add(new BasicEvent(nodearray[i].FirstChild.NextSibling.InnerText, nodearray[i].FirstChild.NextSibling.NextSibling.InnerText, nodearray[i].FirstChild.NextSibling.NextSibling.InnerText, nodearray[i].FirstChild.NextSibling.NextSibling.NextSibling.InnerText));
                new XmlSerializer(typeof(BasicEvent)).Serialize(Console.Out, nodearray );
            }
        }


    }

    }

The message in the exception is quite clear!

Add the default constructor then:

public BasicEvent( ){}
