using Xmlserializer for Char datatype gives problems

I have a class that I serialize/deserialize using xmlserializer.
There are a few properties with char datatype.
I have a few xml files from which I want to create the objects. While
deserializing from xml if the properties having char datatypes have
numeric values(0-9) then everything worls fine. If I put any letter
e.g. A it starts throwing exception - "Input string is not in correct
format".
If I convert these properties to string, all data works. But I have to
keep these properties as chars for some reasons.
Is there a problem with the char datatype and xmlserialiser? Is there
any workaround for this?

thnx in advance,
Swati

I am trying to find a solution that will allow me to use XmlSerializer to serialize/deserialize a collection of objects where a given object is shared between two or more other objects, and not create duplicate XML representations of the shared object, but instead use IDREFs to refer to the shared object. The XML I'm trying to produce is as follows (where "href" is an IDREF): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <MyRootClass...

I am trying to serialize a collection to disk using the code provided. This works just fine but when I try do copy and past the xml file to another location or sometimes even just click on the file it gives me the error: The instruction at "0x635e0719" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The momory could not be "read. Could anyone please help out with this

I'm trying to override the default elementnames in the (seemingly) simple case of serializing an array of GUIDs into XML. Here's the basic code I started with: Dim arrGuids(3) as Guid arrGuids(0) = Guid.NewGuid arrGuids(1) = Guid.NewGuid arrGuids(2) = Guid.NewGuid

I'm porting an application from Apache Xerces to .Net and am having a couple of small problems with deserialization. The XML that I'm reading comes from a variety of sources, and there are two inconsistencies that Xerces is able to handle that XmlSerializer seems not to be able to deal with. 1) Some of the boolean values that I'm dealing with are "True" and "False" rather than "true" and "false". I'm not quite sure whether "True" and...

I'm using XMLSerializer to serialize a hierarchy of class-based objects to XML. So far, this is working successfully by employing arrays to handle the multiplicity of child objects. However, I'm trying to employ the use of collection classes instead because there are methods I need to implement at that level. But when I instantiate the XMLSerializer, it gives the error: There was an error reflecting <Root Type>. If I try using ...

Hello! I have an xml schema which has a date typed attribute. I have used xsd.exe to create a class library for XmlSerializer. The result of XmlSerializer.Serialize(...) should be passed as the value for the parameter of an SqlCommand for inserting the xml document in a column of a table where the column is typed to be of the same xml schema. This all sounds simple, but SQL Server REQUIRES the timezone to be specified for date values....

I want to know if this practice is effective and secure: I have been thinking about storing some data, which my users upload, in text files rather than database, since often I do not know how much information users submit for things like item description or images URL paths. This information may be very short or very long. MS SQL Server requires a maximum field length to be set. Thus, if user enters 5 characters into 5000 character field,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
