Ok the XmlSerializer is nice for my need.
BUT I what I need (maybe the XmlSerializer isnt what I need) is to be
able to take the following
objects
A Person who has a collection of Addresses
Person
(fname)
(lname)
Address
(Street)
(City)
(State)
(Zip)
And Serialize the Person object Seperatly from the Addresses.
What is the best way to do this ?
Inverse recursion ?
What I would like in the end are 2 strings, 1 representing the Person
and 1 representing the address.
If there were 2 addresses then 3 strings, 1 for the person, and 1 for
EACH address.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Could you just mark the address property of the Person object to be ignored
by the serializer (XmlIgnore i think). Serialise the Person to get your
first string, then iterate over the addresses and serialize them one by one?

Hmm....thats a way...not bad.....
What I would really like to do is be able through reflection determine
if a property base type implments IEnumerable.
I have an app that I have several functions I need to determine if a
given propety is a a type of Collection
It could (and in most cases is) a Generic Collection
It could be , and array , an array list , etc though.
How can I determine if its A collection, or enumerable ?
I hate to impose contratints like that on Domain Design that all
collections must be ignored....etc.
BUT its better than what I had so far.
If I could just figure out how to determine if a property implments
IEnum, etc...
Thanks
Chris

System.Diagnost ics.Debug.Write Line("Addresses is " +
(typeof(IEnumer able).IsAssigna bleFrom(myObjec t.GetType().Get Property("Addre sses").Property Type)
? String.Empty : "not ") + "IEnumerabl e");
That should determine if your property is IEnumerable, although since
ICollection is derived from IEnumerable, it'd be better to check for
ICollection if you want to exclude them. But this is not behavior you can
dictate to the serializer (unless you can get it to fire the UnknownElement
event)
BINGO !
Thanks a TON !
It was driving me nuts, I was calling TypeOf differently and missing
the IsAssignableFro m
So NOW I can loop through my properties
You are 100% correct about the ICollection (I want thinking of the fact
ICollection is derived from IEnumerable)
What I plan to do as far as the serializer goes is loop from the Bottom
Up setting the collections to nothign after they have been individually
serialized. That Ive got ok, its not clean but it works.
Thanks again......

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):

I, too, am getting nasty FileNotFound exceptions. I've read, and

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....

Hi,
I have a schema that has an optional element, fieldTag4000Field. If the
element is omitted from the XML request, when it is deserialized, it will be
null when I check it - which is fine.
What happens when the element is supplied as <fieldTag4000Field/(empty),
it does not equate to null. I want to be able handle this at the
deserialization level rahter than in my edits later.
