XmlSerialization and List

Question

I have the following class

public class Notifications : List<Notification> { }

Unfortunately, when it's serialized it looks like

<ArrayOfNotification>
  <Notification>
  ...

How can I get that root node to be Notifications? I've tried a few different attributes on the class, but none compile.

Answer 1

Try

using System.Xml.Serialization;
...
[XmlType(TypeName="Notifications")]
public class Notifications ...
