C# - Serializing and Deserializing Linq Tables whilst maintaining Relationships
Hi All, I want to Test my code! A noble goal I'm sure you agree. I need to mock out DataContexts for my Regression tests, running the test will verify that for any code change, given the same input we produce the same output. I'm using Moles to mock out my data contexts. It's awesome and simple, I recommend it, I might move to Moq if ...
How do I use DataContractSerializer to create nodes/elements for a containing XML file?
Say I am persisting some application data to a single XML file and I want to use the DataContractSerializer to create all or most of the elements. So my file might look like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Settings> <A ... /> <B ... /> </Settings> (A and B are serialized using DCS.) How would I go about writing this fil...

XmlSerializer vs DataContractSerializer

Slightly non-trivial data structure: is XmlSerializer right for me?
I'm currently using XmlSerializer to, surprisingly enough :), handle de/serialization of my data structures - I find it wonderfully simple to use, but at the cost of flexibility. At the moment, I'm using it for a tree-based structure; since XmlSerializer doesn't handle cyclic structures, I've added [XmlIgnore] to my Parent property, and ...
Does the DataContractSerializer call property getters/setters?
I know that on deserialization the DataContractSerializer does not call the constructor. Does it also bypass a public or private property's setter method? ...

Cannot Serialize a List<> of DynamicProxy2-generated objects with DataContractJsonSerializer
I'm running into an issue using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer to serialize a List<T> of proxied objects. It works fine with a single proxied object, but the List makes it blow up. Something like this: using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Runtime.Serialization; using Castle.DynamicProxy; using ...
Control object creation during deserialization
I would like to control object creation of a type that is not usually serializable during deserialization using a NetDataContractSerializer (or any serializer I guess). Using a custom SerializationBinder I can control the type that is constructed and using a custom ISurrogateSelector and ISerializationSurrogate to control how state is se...

C# Data Contract deserialisation returning 'null' for collection.
We're using DataContractSerializer to deserialise XML data coming into a RESTful API written in MVC.Net. I'm trying to send a list of objects into an action method, however the deserialisation always returns null, even when using XML serialised from the same classes. Does anyone have any idea's of why this is happening. Code is below. [...
How to ensure interoperability with DataContractSerializer when talking to non-.NET app?
Say I have a non-.NET app which needs to write data to be deserialized by a .NET app via DataContractSerializer. Where's the specification describing the exact format necessary? Such a spec should describe a lot of stuff, including: Does the order of sibling elements matter? Should the xml namespace URIs always begin with http://schem...
Error: "The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this contract" ?

WCF Client having problems recognizing ServiceKnownTypes?
How would I tell the WCF service what KnownTypes to use when passing data back to the client? I know I can use the [ServiceKnownType] attribute, which makes the service call run fine from a WCF Test Server, however it still fails from the client. Am I missing something here? [OperationContract] [ServiceKnownType(typeof(SubClassA))] [Se...
