However, you can in fact create a type with a name like that -
including backticks, [, _+, - and other illegal characters using
Reflection.Emit . If you then do the following
new System.Xml.XmlS erializer(TypeW ithAFunkyName)
you will get the marvelously ambiguous and utterly worthless error
message, "Input string was not in a correct format."
So, if you ever get that message from the XmlSerializer constructor -
consider the actual name of the type you are passing in !

That's the thing, they are not illegal characters. If you look at the
reflection namespace, as specifically the FullName AssemblyQualifi edFullName
properties on the Type class, you will that is how generic type parameters
are represented through reflection (using the back tick).
They are just not valid in C#, as C# uses a different syntax for
specifying generic type parameters.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently writing an application which uses the XmlSerializer class to
serialize/deserialize objects to/from xml.
Now when deserializing an XmlDocument back into the object, I'm using the
System::Type::GetType(String* typeName) to create a Type* needed to construct
the XmlSerializer.
The typeName argument is taken from the XmlDocument and consists of the

Hi!
I'd like to build xml out of some c# classes with the XMLSerializer.
My problem is:
I have an envelope and want to fill it with different types of sub-nodes.
But I don't like to build the envelope class for each subsystem class again
and again.
Instead the type of sub-node shall be choosen during runtime.
Is there a way to use class inheritance or something like that?

Hi!
I'm working with a C# client that calls a php web service. I've
created a wrapper to call the service using .NET wsdl tool (adding a
web reference).
The call to the server works fine, it is serialized correctly, and the
server returns a response (I've captured the response and it's
correct!) but when the .NET deserialize this response, it throws the
exception "System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML

Hello,
So I'm doing some mathematical modeling and it turns out I need

I want to have it in all three precisions (float, double, and decimal),

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:

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,...
