Use XML serialization to serialize a collection without the parent node

Question

Let's say I have a class;

public class Car  {    public List<Passenger> Passengers {get; set;}  } 

I want to serialize this to XML such that Passengers are child nodes of Car and there is no intervening Passengers node. In other words I want the output to look like this;

<Car>   <Passenger>...</Passenger>   <Passenger>...</Passenger> </Car> 

and not like this, which is the default layout;

<Car>      <Passengers>     <Passenger>...</Passenger>     <Passenger>...</Passenger>   </Passengers>  </Car> 

There's an attribute I need to add to Car.Passengers to achieve this, I don't recall which though.

Answer 1

This is what I was after!

[XmlElement("Passenger")] public List<Passenger> Passengers {get; set;}
