Hi,
I'm having problems deploying a project to win2003.
It is currently on win2000 server and works fine - it also works fine
on my development machine - win2003.
Both my machine and the new machine are running .net 1.1 sp1.
I get an error when I try to descrialize a file (with code):
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(f ileName);
blob = (CustomClass) serializer.Dese rialize(reader) ; //error
Error is of type: InvalidCastExce ption,
so I re-ran the code with:
object o = (object) serializer.Dese rialize (reader);
blob = (CustomClass) serializer.Dese rialize (reader); //error
and it deserializes ok, but get an error on the cast, still.
I then embedded the .xml file, and read from the assembly, just to make
sure it had nothing to do with filesystem permissions, etc., and still
won't work.
I also run:
serializer.CanD eserialize(read er)
each time (before deserializing) and it returns a true value.
The custom class is of the form:
public class CustomClass
{
public CustomClass() {}
/// <summary>
/// informative name of the configuration file
/// </summary>
[XmlAttribute]
public string Name;
[XmlElement(Elem entName="ABC")]
public Country[] ABC;
}
public class Country
{
[XmlAttribute]
public string CountryDescript ion;
[XmlAttribute]
public string Value;
}
and the .xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<HyperionConfig uration Name="bnp">
<ABC CountryDescript ion="United Arab Emirates" Value="ae"/>
<ABC CountryDescript ion="Antilhas" Value="an"/>
<ABC CountryDescript ion="Argentina" Value="ar"/>
<ABC CountryDescript ion="Austria" Value="at"/>
<ABC CountryDescript ion="Australia" Value="au"/>
</HyperionConfigu ration>
Does anybody have any Ideas?
I'd really appreciate any clues!
