Is it possible to avoid list property tags when serializing?
//[Serializable()] - removed, unnecessary
public class Foo
{
protected List<FooBar> fooBars = new List<FooBar>();
public virtual List<FooBar> FooBars
{
get { return fooBars; }
set { fooBars = value; }
}
}
// [Serializable()] - removed, unnecessary
public class FooBar
{
public int MyProperty
{ get; set; }
}
Serializing Foo gives (except the comment):
<Foo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<FooBars> <!-- Unwanted tag -->
<FooBar>
<MyProperty>7</MyProperty>
</FooBar>
<FooBar>
<MyProperty>9</MyProperty>
</FooBar>
</FooBars>
</Foo>
Wanted output:
<Foo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<FooBar>
<MyProperty>7</MyProperty>
</FooBar>
<FooBar>
<MyProperty>9</MyProperty>
</FooBar>
