With some effort and customization, it possible to get close to what you want, however XmlSerializer will always place the CData nodes at the end of the container element. Your example XML shows the CData nodes between specific nodes of the container element. As long as you don’t need this precise control, you can use … Read more
You are correct that many serializers (though not all) work this way. Json.NET does, its JsonConverter.ReadJson method actually has an Object existingValue for exactly this situation. I don’t know of any documents where these sorts of implementation details are spelled out. The easiest way to determine whether a serializer uses pre-allocated collections when present rather … Read more
Take a look at the following blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psheill/archive/2005/04/09/406823.aspx http://web.archive.org/web/20100703052446/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psheill/archive/2005/04/09/406823.aspx and this one (not in english, but the code is useful) http://huseyint.com/2007/12/xml-serializable-generic-dictionary-tipi/ Code sample from: http://web.archive.org/web/20100703052446/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psheill/archive/2005/04/09/406823.aspx using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Collections; using System.IO; using System.Xml.Serialization; using System.Xml; using System; public static void Serialize(TextWriter writer, IDictionary dictionary) { List<Entry> entries = new List<Entry>(dictionary.Count); foreach (object key in … Read more
Hashtables need hashcode and equality comparer providers generally. These cant be serialized easily in XML, and definitely will not be portable. But I think you already found your answer. Just serialize the hashtable as a List<KeyValuePair<K,V>> and then (re)construct it into a hashtable.
You may want to try this. string xml = @”<Students> <Student ID=””100″”> <Name>Arul</Name> <Mark>90</Mark> </Student> <Student> <Name>Arul2</Name> <Mark>80</Mark> </Student> </Students>”; dynamic students = DynamicXml.Parse(xml); var id = students.Student[0].ID; var name1 = students.Student[1].Name; foreach(var std in students.Student) { Console.WriteLine(std.Mark); } public class DynamicXml : DynamicObject { XElement _root; private DynamicXml(XElement root) { _root = root; } … Read more
The intent of the {propertyName}Specified pattern is documented in XML Schema Binding Support: MinOccurs Attribute Binding Support. It was added to support an XSD schema element in which: The <element> element is involved. minOccurs is zero. The maxOccurs attribute dictates a single instance. The data type converts to a value type. In this case, xsd.exe … Read more
To control the namespace alias, use XmlSerializerNamespaces. [XmlRoot(“Node”, Namespace=”http://flibble”)] public class MyType { [XmlElement(“childNode”)] public string Value { get; set; } } static class Program { static void Main() { XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add(“myNamespace”, “http://flibble”); XmlSerializer xser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyType)); xser.Serialize(Console.Out, new MyType(), ns); } } If you need to change the namespace … Read more
The leak is here: new XmlSerializer(typeof(XMLObj), new XmlRootAttribute(“rootNode”)) XmlSerializer uses assembly generation, and assemblies cannot be collected. It does some automatic cache/reuse for the simplest constructor scenarios (new XmlSerializer(Type), etc), but not for this scenario. Consequently, you should cache it manually: static readonly XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XMLObj), new XmlRootAttribute(“rootNode”)) and use the cached serializer … Read more
