CSharpIniFileSerializer is a .NET Serializer for INI File. It use reflection to serialize/deserialize fields or/and properties of the given class. Section names and field names are fully customisable with Attributes.
class MyClass
{
[IniSectionName("GLOBAL")]
string m_DisplayString;
public string DisplayString
{
get { return m_DisplayString; }
set { m_DisplayString = value; }
}
[IniSectionName("GLOBAL")]
[IniFieldName("MyCustomName")]
double m_DisplayDouble;
public double DisplayDouble
{
get { return m_DisplayDouble; }
set { m_DisplayDouble = value; }
}
}Output result (.ini)
[GLOBAL]
m_DisplayString=Hello World
MyCustomName=0.42| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
[IniSectionName("GLOBAL") |
change default section name |
[IniFieldName("DisplayBool")] |
change default field name |
[IniArrayDelimiter(ArrayDelimiter.Underscore)] |
set array delimite |
[IniArrayType(ArrayType.Section)] |
set array format |
[IniIgnore] |
ignore field or property |
