Hopefully a question with a very simple answer, but it's not one that I've been able to find. I have a small XML document that looks roughly like this: <aa> <bb><name>bb1</name></bb> <bb><name>bb2</name></bb> <bb><name>bb3</name></bb> </aa> I have classes that represent aa and bb [XmlRoot("aa")] public class aa { [XmlArray("b...
We've observed that when we expose a WCF service which uses classes decorated with various xml serialisation attributes, despite the fact that we use the XmlSerializerFormat attribute on the interface any XmlRoot attribute on any of the operation's parameters gets completely ignored. The namespace of the parameters is always that of the...
I am an XML beginner, using C# .NET 2.0/Visual Studio 2005. What I have is a data sample in XML that I'd like to convert into strongly typed data structures. I also have an XSD for that file that I ran through the Visual Studio xsd.exe to generate the code for it. I ran it against System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer It did a decen...
The HR-XML 3.0 spec provides WSDL's to generate their entities. I'm trying to deserialize their example xml in their documentation, but it's not working. Candidate.CandidateType candidate = null; string path = "c:\\candidate.xml"; XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Candidate.CandidateType), "http...
So I am trying to simply decorate a class to serialize it as XML. Here's an example of my problem. [XmlElement("Dest")] public XmlNode NewValue { get; set; } The real problem here is that sometimes in this implementation the XmlNode can be an XmlElement or XmlAttribute. when it's an element this code works fine, but when it comes ...
I have a fairly complex XML coming my way and I have the XSD for it. I generated classes via xsd.exe and read XML into the class structure via the XmlSerializer described here. It works great. However, this is the first time I've done it this way and I'll be reading in tons of XML files going forward from various sources. How reliabl...
Is there a simpler way to output a Linq to SQL table to XML (eventually to a web page?) Unfortunately, I am not using MVC, but I could put a reference to it in my aspx C# page. I have this: var myView = (from x in db.myTable where x.Name.Contains("Bob") select new person {Name = x.Name, Job = x.Job).Take(...
I'm taking data from an XML file of records that I'm using System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer to deserialize into strongly-typed data structures. Each record that I run through is getting converted to another format and written to another file. I dislike the idea of storing the whole XML file in memory without need, but it's not cr...
My repository has List<Student>, List<Course> and List<Enrolment> where an Enrolment has Enrolment.Student and Enrolment.Course which are references one of the students or courses in the two previous lists. When I use XmlSerializer on my repository it outputs redundant data as it serializes all properties of each student in List<Stude...

Input...note that comment is generated code from the xsd tool. It's in a 31,834 line file and proprietary, but I put a rough approximation in here.

I have a list box that when an item is selected or deselected I want to save the changes to an xml file (so it is always up-to-date on the file and the user does not need a "save" button). While testing I occasionally am hitting this IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\MyPath\MyFile.xml' because it is being used by anot...
On my website I have a form that takes in some textual user input. All works fine for "normal" characters. However when unicode characters are input... well, the plot thickens. User inputs something like やっぱ死にかけてる This comes in to the server as text containing XML entity refs やっぱ死にかけ&...
How would this be achieved in C# xml serializable class(s)? <Category Attrib1="Value1" Attrib2="Value2"> <Item>Item1</Item> <Item>Item2</Item> <Item>Item3</Item> <Item>Item4</Item> </Category> Inheriting Category from List<Item> results in the two Category properties being ignored by the xml serializer. If Category is compose...

Hi everyone, I have a populated DataTable I'd like to serialize to a file for later use. I've been looking over the options involved with this and wondered if someone could point me in the right direction. What I'll be creating are two methods-- one for writing the datatable to a file, and another for creating a new datatable using th...
