#XSerializer - serialize anything#
##Typical Usage##
You can serialize/deserialize like this:
public class Foo
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public IBar Bar { get; set; }
}
[XmlInclude(typeof(Bar))] // Method #1 uses attributes to indicate the inheritors of the interface.
public interface IBar
{
int Id { get; set; }
string Value { get; set; }
}
public class Bar : IBar
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
public void Main()
{
Foo foo = new Foo { Id = 1, Bar = new Bar { Id = 2, Value = "Baz" } };
XmlSerializer<Foo> serializer = new XmlSerializer<Foo>();
string xml = serializer.Serialize(foo);
Foo roundTripFoo = serializer.Deserialize(xml);
}Or this:
public class Foo
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public IBar Bar { get; set; }
}
public interface IBar
{
int Id { get; set; }
string Value { get; set; }
}
public class Bar : IBar
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
public void Main()
{
Foo foo = new Foo { Id = 1, Bar = new Bar { Id = 2, Value = "Baz" } };
// Method #2 passes in the types of the inheritors to the constructor.
XmlSerializer<Foo> serializer = new XmlSerializer<Foo>(typeof(Bar));
string xml = serializer.Serialize(foo);
Foo roundTripFoo = serializer.Deserialize(xml);
}
