GetText() public method

This is used to acquire a text value for the specified object. This will convert the object to a string using the transformer so that it can be deserialized from the generate XML document. However if the type is an Enum type then the text value is taken from Enum.name so it can later be deserialized easily using the enumeration class and name.
