I imagine to use XML serialization like this: class Foo { public Foo (string name) { Name1 = name; Name2 = name; } [XmlInclude] public string Name1 { get; private set; } [XmlInclude] private string Name2; } StreamWriter wr = new StreamWriter("path.xml"); new XmlSerializer<Foo>().Serialize (wr, ...
I have various complex objects that often have collections of other complex objects. Sometimes I only want to load the collections when they're needed so I need a way to keep track of whether a collection has been loaded (null/empty doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't been loaded). To do this, these complex objects inherit from a class ...
With DataContracts you can derive from IExtensibleDataObject to allow round-tripping to work without losing any unknown additional data from your XML file. I can't use DataContract because I need to control the formatting of the output XML. But I also need to be able to read a future version of the XML file in the old version of the app...
When I serialize an object which has a DateTime in it this is returning empty in the XML string. Please see below for my XSD, serializable class generated from the XSD, and serialization helper class which handles the serialization of the XSD. XSD: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema id="test" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="ht...

Have a small script in Microsoft.NET 2.0 that deserializes a XML back to a typed object, connects dyanimcally to a web service using ServiceDescription and binds the deserialized typed object to the WebMethod inbound. The XML prior to serialization looks like below <completion_time>12:19:38</completion_time> on the wire when communic...
I think i already know the answer to this, but i cannot find anything that states it definitively, hence my question - i want to make sure i am not missing a trick. Using the DataContractSerializer or the XmlSerializer, is there any way to change what a pulic property is serialized as? I have a property that is an Enum, and i would lik...

Hi everyone, I'm working in Visual Studio 2008 using c#. Let's say I have 2 xsd files e.g "Envelope.xsd" and "Body.xsd" I create 2 sets of classes by running xsd.exe, creating something like "Envelope.cs" and "Body.cs", so far so good. I can't figure out how to link the two classes to serialize (using XmlSerializer) into the proper n...
Hi, I have code that builds a custom WCF wsdl on the fly. In one particular scenario, the WSDL exported should use the XmlSerializerOperationBehavior as the IWsdlExportExtension as opposed to the default DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior IWsdlExportExtension. However, every time I try this from the WSDL generation code, I get a ...
I understand how XMLSerializer could work by using reflection to figure out what public read/write fields or properties it should be using to serialize or de-serialize XML. Yet XMLSerializer requires that the fields be public and read/write. However, DataContractSerializer is able to read or write to or from completely private fields i...
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(IxComment)); System.IO.StringWriter aStream = new System.IO.StringWriter(); serializer.Serialize(aStream,Comments); commentsString = aStream.ToString(); Here the commentsString has the the following element in it <IxComment xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:...
I have wsdl from third party server. Ran svcutil and ended up wih a set of XmlNode AMethod(object Request); methods. There is a separate 100 page pdf describing response/request objects for each method My thought was wrap web methods and use XmlSerializer to return strongly typed objects. Returned xml looks like this (i removed ...
Is there a way to deserialize a XML stream using XmlSerializer by applying a custom tranform defined in a XSLT? ...
Hi, What's the best way to serialize multiple classes with XmlSerializer in one file? Ideally, what I want is to have one root node and the XmlSerializer serializes one child node to this root node, one per class. Otherwise, my other idea is to just make a wrapper that contains these classes and serialize that. ...
How do I setup my class to deserialize the following mixed content xml? <employee> <name>John Doe</name> <remark>He is a <match>tall</match> and handsome man</remark> </employee> ...
Hi, When using XML serialization in C#, I use code like this: public MyObject LoadData() { XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject)); using (TextReader reader = new StreamReader(settingsFileName)) { return (MyObject)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(reader); } } (and similar code for deserializ...
Is there a way to make a serialized member to serialize as an attribute: <Serializable> Public Class Person Public Property Name As String End Class I want than when this class is xml-serialized, it should produce: <Person Name="John Doe" /> And what I mean is that instead of the Name property should be serialized as an elemen...
When serializing a C# class using XmlSerializer, the attributes/elements representing the properties of the class will have the same names as they do in the source code. I know you can override this by doing like so: [XmlAttribute("num")] public int NumberOfThingsThatAbcXyz { get; set; } I'd like the generated XML for my classes to b...
