Extracting innertext and attribute using XmlSerializer

[kishore]

Hi
I have a file similar to below
<filter>
<param id="xx">This is test</param>
<param id="yy">This is another test </param>
</filter>

I created classes as below

[XmlRoot("filter")]
public class Filter
{
[XmlElement("param", typeof(Param))]
Param [] params;
}

public class Param
{
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string id;
}
All this is working fine. But I am not sure how to get the inner texts
from the Param element. How can I get it through serialization?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Xml serialisation is only going serialise the state of an object to xml it
does not provide any mechanism to recurse the xml you will have to use an
xml query tool for that.

Also I believe you should be using the XmlArrayAttribute on your array:

[XmlRoot("filter")]
public class Filter
{
[XmlArray(ElementName = "Params")
Param [] params;
}

[XmlElement("Param")]
public class Param
{
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string id;
}

Hi Ollie,
Thanks for the reply. Even if i could get hold of the inner text, i
could extract the value on my own. I don't see a way to get it out?
I believe when deserialized (convert from xml file to object), it
should be reading even the innertext also right?
How do i get hold of it?

Thanks

declare a Text field on Param:

public class Param {
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string id;

[XmlText]
public string text;
}
