I have a class I am serializing with C#'s XmlSerializer. It is marked with the XmlRoot attribute, and I would like to inherit this attribute in a derived class. Looking at the documentation it does not say that XmlRoot sets Inherit to false with AttributeUsageAttribute (Inherit is supposed to default to true), but I get an error when tr...
This is a bit of a long question, but I've made it as terse as possible, so please bear with me. It looks to me like a bug in the XmlSerializer class but before I file it with Microsoft I'd like to see if there's anything I've missed, which is entirely possible. I'm attempting to generate the following XML as a representative case, whic...
Hi all I've tried all the solutions I could find on SO and elsewhere, but can't seem to figure out why this is not working. Straightforward deserialization of an XML string into an object, the object has one property - a List: [XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true)] public class UpdateData { [XmlArrayItem(ElementName = "Updates...
Giving a quick overview of my situation: I am working on an N-Tier app that relies a lot on serialization, objects interact with the database mainly in a serialized fashion, objects and collections are inserted, updated and read as XML from within stored procedures. For some of the smaller data classes I am simply using ExecuteNonQuery...
I've been trying to deserialize an xml file in C# with classes generated from schemas in xsd.exe. Unfortunately only part of the file is being properly deserialized, the rest is returned as null for reasons I can't work out. My process is as follows: Starting with the myschema.xsd file from which the C# code is generated: <?xml versio...
Note: I cannot use XSD... not going to go into why. I'm having a problem properly representing the following xml in a class that it should get deserialized into: XML: <product> <sku>oursku</sku> <attribute name="attrib1">value1</attribute> <attribute name="attrib2">value2</attribute> <attribute name="attribx">valuex</attri...
I have this class: public class MySerializableClass { public List<MyObject> MyList { get; set; } } If MyList is null when MySerializableClass is serialized, I need to have it null when it's deserialised too, but the XmlSerializer always initializes it when it deserialises my class. Is there a way to avoid it initializing null pro...

Just wondering if anyone knows how the XmlSerializer determines the order for deserializing any given object's properties. Added info: I have a class like this: private bool _hasGaps = false; public bool HasGaps { get { return _hasGaps; } set { _hasGaps = value; } } priv...

The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNot...

I'm looking for a way with C# which I can serialize a class into XML and add a namespace, but define the prefix which that namespace will use. Ultimately I'm trying to generate the following XML: <myNamespace:Node xmlns:myNamespace="..."> <childNode>something in here</childNode> </myNamespace:Node> I know with both the DataContract...

In C# / .NET 2.0, when I serialize an object using XmlSerializer, what's the easiest way to validate the output against an XML schema? The problem is that it is all too easy to write invalid XML with the XmlSerializer, and I can't find a way to validate the XML that does not look cumbersome. Ideally I would expect to set the schema in ...
