Chance,
Is there some specific reason why you aren't doing something like this:
private void SerializeData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyXmlData));
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("Test.xml", false))
{
MyXmlData test = new MyXmlData();
test.Data.Add(new MyParm("column1", "value1"));
test.Data.Add(new MyParm("column2", "value2"));
test.Data.Add(new MyParm("column3", "value3"));
test.Data.Add(new MyParm("column4", "value4"));
xs.Serialize(sw, test);
}
}
private void DeserializeData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyXmlData));
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("Test.xml"))
{
MyXmlData test = xs.Deserialize(sr) as MyXmlData;
foreach(MyParm parm in test.Data)
{
MessageBox.Show(this, string.Format(
"Column {0} Value {1}", parm.Column, parm.Value));
}
}
}
Your datat object would look like this:
[XmlRoot("parameters", Namespace = "MyNameSpace")]
public class MyXmlData
{
[XmlElement("parm")]
public List<MyParmData = new List<MyParm>();
}
public class MyParm
{
private string _column;
private string _value;
public MyParm()
{
_column = string.Empty;
_value = string.Empty;
}
public MyParm(string column, string value)
{
Column = column;
Value = value;
}
[XmlElement("col")]
public string Column
{
get { return _column; }
set { _column = value; }
}
[XmlElement("val")]
public string Value
{
get { return _value; }
set { _value = value; }
}
}
Where you xml data would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<parameters xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="MyNameSpace">
<parm>
<col>column1</col>
<val>value1</val>
</parm>
<parm>
<col>column2</col>
<val>value2</val>
</parm>
<parm>
<col>column3</col>
<val>value3</val>
</parm>
<parm>
<col>column4</col>
<val>value4</val>
</parm>
</parameters>
