XML serialization code for an array of ASP.net objects

XML serialization of an array requires the XML node name of the array element to be specified using XmlArrayAttribute and Xmlarrayitemattribute;xmlarrayattribute. XmlArrayItemAttribute the XML node name of the specified array element.

The following code example:

Using System.Xml.Serialization;

Namespace Usexmlserialization

Class Program

static void Main (string[] args)
{
Declaring a Cat object
var cwhite = new Cat {Color = "white", Speed = ten, saying = "White or black, so long as the cat can catch mice, it is a Good cat "};
var cblack = new Cat {Color = "Black", Speed = ten, saying = "White or black, so long as the cat can catch mice, it is a Good cat "};

catcollection cc = new Catcollection {Cats = new cat[] {cwhite,cblack}};

Serialization of this object
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer (typeof (Catcollection));

Serializing an object to the console
Serializer. Serialize (Console.Out, CC);

Console.read ();
}
}

[XmlRoot ("Cats")]
public class Catcollection
{
[XmlArray ("Items"), XmlArrayItem ("item")]
Public cat[] Cats {get; set;}
}

[XmlRoot ("Cat")]
public class Cat
{
Defines a property that is serialized as a cat node for a color property
[XmlAttribute ("Color")]
public string Color {get; set;}

Requires no serialization of speed properties
[XmlIgnore]
public int Speed {get; set;}

To set the saying property to be serialized as an XML child element
[XmlElement ("saying")]
public string saying {get; set;}
}
}<span style= "Font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif" face= "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif" > <span class=apple-style-span style= "FONT-SIZE:14PX; line-height:21px; White-space:normal ">
</SPAN></SPAN>

The above code will output:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "gb2312"
<cats xmlns:xsi= "http://www.w3.org/2001/" Xmlschema-instance "xmlns:xsd=" HTTP://WW
W.w3.org/2001/xmlschema
  <items>
     <item color= "white"
      <saying>white or black,  so long as the "C" At can catch mice,  it is a good
Cat</saying>
    </item>
    & Lt;item color= "Black"
      <saying>white or black,  so long as the cat can CA TCH mice,  It is a good
Cat</saying>
    </item>
  </items>
&L T;/cats>
