I have the following code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string xml = @"<ArrayOfUserSetting>
<UserSetting>
<Value>Proposals</Value>
<Name>LastGroup</Name>
</UserSetting>
<UserSetting>
<Value>Visible</Value>
<Name>WidgetsVisibility</Name>
</UserSetting>
</ArrayOfUserSetting>";
List<UserSetting> settings =
GetObjFromXmlDocument<List<UserSetting>>(xml);
}
public static T GetObjFromXmlDocument<T>(string xml)
{
T customType;
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.LoadXml(xml);
using (XmlNodeReader xmlNodeReader = new XmlNodeReader(xmlDocument))
{
customType = (T)serializer.Deserialize(xmlNodeReader);
}
return customType;
}
}
[Serializable]
public class UserSetting
{
public string Value { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
The code works fine and the call to GetObjFromXmlDocument yields a List collection. However, I always get a first chance exception of type System.IO.FileNotFoundException
in mscorlib.dll, when XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
is executed.
So I went into Debug/Exception and turned on Managed Debugging Assistants. I got the following on that line:
The assembly with display name 'mscorlib.XmlSerializers' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 1. The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'mscorlib.XmlSerializers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'mscorlib.XmlSerializers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
Can someone explain why this is happening? Is there something I could do to the UserSetting
class to make the problem disappear? The application is quite performance sensitive and I'd rather not have the exception.
