Problem deserializing XML data

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to read an xml config file in C#. To do this, I have used the
xsd.exe tool to create an xsd file from my xml, and to generate code to
read this xml file.

Here is a small sample of my xml file:
<feed>
<location>
<directory>data </directory>
</location>
<files>
<file>
<name>name</name>
</file>
</files>
</feed>

Whereas I'm able to read the directory value correctly, I cannot read the
value of name. After some searching, and after modifying the code a bit,
I found that the value for name wasn't even filled in the first place!

A coworker told me to look for problems with nested xsd's in Google, but
I was unable to find something useful.

The only thing I seem to be able to find, is an empty array of "file"
objects, which is not what I need (besides, there is one in the xml
file).

Can somebody point me in the right direction? Why is name not read during
the process of deserialization ?

Thanks in advance,

JayCee

Hi, I implemented a composite pattern which should be serializable to xml. After spending some time in the newsgroups, i finally managed serializing, even with utf-8 instead of utf-16, which causes ie problems. But when deserializing the xml into the object structure, the following exception is beeing thrown: There is an error in XML document (3, 701).

Using VB.NET I want to read in an XML file that has an array of objects and then step through the resulting array in code. I build a class to define the structure and I am running code to read in the data but I can't figure out where the data is in the resulting array. Most of the relevant code is below. When I run the code to desrialize I get no errors but if I try to look at some of the data via the command window I get errors such as...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
