What I want to know is if I can check whether T can be s...

Is there any inherit way to lace 'Ids' in foreign collections similar to how they would work as foreign keys in a database? For example... <Client> <Name>Client A</Name> <Addr...
I have the following method to save an Object to a file: // Save an object out to the disk public static void SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize, String filename) { XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(toSerialize.GetType()); TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(filename); xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWrite...
Using a reference from... http://weblogs.asp.net/pwelter34/archive/2006/05/03/444961.aspx I have a serializable generic dictionary. One thing I wanted to do is to add the Key into the Attribute nodes of the Values (just because It's how I wanted it formatted). Oftentimes, the Key is just a string. Is there any way to force the class to...
I have a Repository Class with the following method... public T Single<T>(Predicate<T> expression) { using (var list = (Models.Collectable<T>)System.Xml.Serializer.Deserialize(typeof(Models.Collectable<T>), FileName)) { return list.Find(expression); } } Where Collectable is defined..

I'm trying to use XmlSerializer from C# to save out a class that has some values that are read by properties (the code being just a simple retrieval of field value) but set by setter functions (since there is a delegate called if the value changes). What I'm currently doing is this sort of thing. The intended use is to use the InT prop...
I'm probably just doing this wrong, i know. I'm using custom serialization and when the xml is generated it's putting the class name as the root element Example: <MyClassName> <MyIntendedRootNode> <ObjectType> <Property1/> <Property2/> ... I'm invoking the serialization by calling xmlserializer.Serialize(writer,Me) so ...

I did not find any documentation which explicitly states whether XML serialization is case-sensitive or not. Suppose I have following class: class Test { public int Field; public string field; } Will I have any problems when XML serializing this class becuase it contains two fields having same name differing only in case? CLARIFICAT...

We currently use XStream for encoding our web service inputs/outputs in XML. However we are considering switching to a binary format with code generator for multiple languages (protobuf, Thrift, Hessian, etc) to make supporting new clients easier and less reliant on hand-coding (also to better support our message formats which include bi...
