Need to create a .NET object that will be serialized into a specific XML format

[Gasnic]

Hi

I need to create a .NET object that will be serialized into the following xml structure ( I can't change the XML schema)

<Root>
<Record>
<Field1>data1</Field1>
<Field2>data2</Field2>
<Record>
<Record>
<Field1>data3</Field1>
<Field2>data4</Field2>
<Record>
</Root>
I tried to create a set of data class like this

Public Class Root
{
[XmlArray(ElementName="Record")]
[XmlArrayItem(Type=typeof(Record))]
public ArraryList Records;
}

Public Class Record
{
[XmlElement("Field1")]
public string Field1;

[XmlElement('Field2")]
public string Field2;
}

And inthe code I just create a serializer like the following and run the serialize method

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer (typeof(Root));
serializer.serialize( myFileStream, myRootObj)

This way the serialized message become something like this

<Root xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Record>
<Record>
<Field1>data1</Field1>
<Field2>data2</Field2>
<Record>
<Record>
<Field1>data3</Field1>
<Field2>data4</Field2>
<Record>
<Record>
<Root>

Which is not what I want as it has an extra Record node outside the repeating Record node.

Anyone has idea how can I create a .NET object to serialize to the xml struct at the top?

Any help is greatly appericated

I actually made it work by using xsd.exe, so I generated the class.

Now I am having another minor problem,

The Root node has the following attribute that I don't want

<Root xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

is there anyway that I can get rid of these xmlns thing?

thanks

xmlns attributes are the XML namespaces used in the file and part of a good
XML document. Any other parser should understand them without an error.

Dont remove them if you dont have to.

If you must get rid of them, use the following code:

using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"filename.xml"))
{
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SomeClass));
XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
ns.Add("", "");

xs.Serialize(sw, obj, ns);
}

The docs say that using the XmlSerializerNamespaces in this manner is
not support and that you cant use code in that manner, but it seems to
work.
