I am trying to create a simple model for parsing a yaml file to my domain object using YamlDotNet. The caveat is, that I want the domain model to be readonly, so I'm attempting to solve this through inheritance and internal setters.
For some reason though, the library throws an exception stating:
Property 'HtmlTemplate' not found on type 'ConsoleApplication1.Repositories.YamlTemplateRepository+DeserializeableTemplate'.
I am using an alias, but even scratching that, and using a test class with the right property names does not set it right.
What am I doing wrong? Have I misunderstood how the library should be used?
The code that calls YamlDotNet looks like this:
deserializer.Deserialize<DeserializeableTemplate>(yamlContents);
and the class I'm deserializing looks like this:
private class DeserializeableTemplate : Template
{
[YamlMember(Alias = "HtmlTemplate")]
public string HtmlTemplateWrapper
{
get { return HtmlTemplate; }
set { HtmlTemplate = value; }
}
// A few more properties...
}
and the class I am inheriting:
public class Template
{
public string HtmlTemplate { get; internal set; }
// A few more properties...
}
(Small console test application with the same error can be found here)
Old question, but I had a similar issue, which was solved by changing the access modifier of the inherited property setter to protected
. I'm guessing the internal
modifier used here is playing tricks on the deserialization. This might be an unwanted solution for this problem regarding making the model truly readonly, but I wanted to share my solution for future troubleshooters.
