xmlSerializer & xmlAttrbuteOver rides

[Zion Zadik]

Dear all,

I have a set of c# data classes wich i need to fill their data from xml files. serialization looks to be the best way to accomplish this task.
Since the data classes are compiled and i don't have control on the xml structure, I tried using the xmlAttributeOve rrides class, to instruct the serializer. Looks like I'm doing something basically wrong, since I fail to do that even with a very simple example.

I would be delitaed if you could take a look at the code, and try to figure out what's wrong there.

Thanks in advance,
Zion.

The data class to be deserialized:
public class MyBead

{

public MyBead() {}

public int BeadID;

}

The input xml:

<CurveGraphPoin t><BeadType BeadID="17"/></CurveGraphPoint >

The deserializing function:

private void btnConvert_Clic k(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Stream fs = new FileStream(txtF ile.Text, FileMode.Open);
XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(f s);

Type type = typeof(MyBead);

XmlAttributeOve rrides attOverrides = new XmlAttributeOve rrides();
XmlAttributes attrs = new XmlAttributes() ;

//Define the root element in the XML
XmlRootAttribut e ra = new XmlRootAttribut e("CurveGraphPo int");
attrs.XmlRoot = ra;

XmlElementAttri bute ea = new XmlElementAttri bute("BeadType" , typeof(MyBead)) ;
attrs.XmlElemen ts.Add(ea);
attOverrides.Ad d(type, attrs);

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(t ype, attOverrides);

object obj = serializer.Dese rialize(reader) ;
reader.Close();
}
