Xml Serialize override problem

The code is below.. I want to be able to override two
classes to the same element name... I've commented out
the code which I cant get to work... the base of the code
is an extention of one of the .Net examples...
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Seri alization;
using System.Collecti ons;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime. Serialization;
using System;

namespace ConsoleApplicat ion1
{
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlTy peAttribute("li brary")]
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlRo otAttribute
(IsNullable=fal se)]

public class library
{
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute
(Type=typeof(Or der))]
public ArrayList Orders;

public class Order
{
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute
("Books",Type=t ypeof(Book))]

[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute
(Type=typeof(Ex pandedBook))]
//[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute
(Type=typeof(Ex pandedBook2))]

public ArrayList Books;
}

public class Book
{
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute( )]
public string ISBN;
}

public class ExpandedBook:Bo ok
{
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlEl ementAttribute( )]
public bool NewEdition;
}

public class ExpandedBook2:B ook
{
}
}

public class Run
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Run ser = new Run();
ser.SerializeOb ject("c:\\class .xml");
}

public void SerializeObject (string filename)
{
XmlAttributes attrs = new XmlAttributes() ;
XmlElementAttri bute attra = new XmlElementAttri bute();
attra.ElementNa me = "BookImNew" ;
attra.Type = typeof(library. ExpandedBook);
attrs.XmlElemen ts.Add(attra);

//THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM
//Specify the same element name for a derived class
//XmlElementAttri bute attrb = new XmlElementAttri bute
();
//attrb.ElementNa me = "BookImNew" ;
//attrb.Type = typeof(library. ExpandedBook2);
//attrs.XmlElemen ts.Add(attrb);

XmlAttributeOve rrides attrOverrides = new
XmlAttributeOve rrides();
attrOverrides.A dd(typeof(libra ry.Order), "Books",
attrs);
XmlSerializer s =
new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(library), attrOverrides);

TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fi lename);

library newlib = new library();

// Creates the object that will be serialized.
library.Order myOrders = new library.Order() ;

myOrders.Books = new ArrayList ( ) ;

// Creates an object of the derived type.
library.Expande dBook a = new library.Expande dBook();

a.ISBN= "123456789" ;
a.NewEdition = true;
myOrders.Books. Add(a);

// Creates an object of the derived type.
//library.Expande dBook2 b = new library.Expande dBook2
();
//b.ISBN= "123456789" ;
//myOrders.Books. Add(b);

newlib.Orders = new ArrayList ( ) ;
newlib.Orders.A dd(myOrders);

// Serializes the object.
s.Serialize(wri ter,newlib);
writer.Close();
}
}

}

I have some classes that have the <Serializable()> attribute applied, which of course by default serializes the class properties as elements. What I would like to do is to be able to override this behavior at runtime to serialize the properties as attributes. I have been exploring the XMLAttributesOverrides classes and examples which claims: "you can create one set of serializable classes, but serialize the objects in multiple ways....

When we moved a project from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0, we ran into an issue with some code that inserts a datatable from IDataReader.GetSchemaTable() into a dataset, and then serializes the dataset to XML. I need to strip all of the qualified type information and the rest of the junk from the serialized XML. Is there a recommended approach to this sort of issue? 1.1 output (I want): <DataType>System.Int32</DataType>

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,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
