I have a class Foo
(assume proper using
directives)
namespace Example
{
[XmlRoot("foo")]
class Foo
{
public Foo() {}
[XmlElement("name")]
public string Name;
}
}
And an XmlSerializer can deal with XML like this to produce an object of type Foo
<foo>
<name>BOSS</name>
</foo>
What is the minimal amount of work I can do to make the XmlSerializer handle XML of this form,
<foos>
<foo>
<name>BOSS</name>
</foo>
<foo>
<name>NOT A BOSS</name>
</foo>
</foos>
and produce an array of Foo
objects?
EDIT:
How I'm doing it for a single Foo
:
var xr = new XmlTextReader("foo.xml");
var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo));
var a = (Foo) xs.Deserialize(xr);
Potential example for Foo[]
var xr = new XmlTextReader("foos.xml");
var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo[]));
var a = (Foo[]) xs.Deserialize(xr);
To the best of my knowledge for the simplest. Adding another class Foos and removing the xmlroot tag from class Foo.
namespace Example
{
[XmlRoot("foos")]
class Foos
{
public Foos() {}
[XmlElement("foo")]
public List<Foo> FooList {get; set;}
}
}
