XML serialization in C#

Question

I have a class that looks like the following:

class SomeClass
    {
        private int _property1;
        [XmlAttribute("Property1")]
        public int Property1
        {
            get { return _property1; }
            set { _property1 = value; }
        }
        private int _property2;
        [XmlAttribute("Property2")]
        public int Property2
        {
            get { return _property2; }
            set { _property2 = value; }
        }

        private string _property3;
        public string Property3
        {
            get { return _property3; }
            set { _property3 = value; }
        }

        public SomeClass()
        {
        }
    }

I need to serialize it using XmlSerializer in the following format:

<SomeClass Property1="NNNNN" Property2="NNNNN">
     Value_of_Property3
</SomeClass>

However, I can't figure how can I serialize the value of Property3 without adding a node for Property3. Is there a to serialize the string in Property3 without adding a node for it?

Answer 1

Add [XmlText()] attribute to Property3.
