Instantiating a structure array from XML in .net

Hey All,

My app will have a structure array that will hold the parameters used
to initialize a array of classes at run time to default values. XML
looks like a good candidate to persist the data right? I'd like to
have the XML file that persists the structure array. It would be nice
to just initially author a XML file with my parameter values in it.
It's a bit of a chicken/egg senerio. Is there any way to do this
without first serializing the structure to get a XML 'template' file
upon which to build?

Is a structure containing an incomplete array as its last element (per paragraph 2 of section 6.7.2.1 of ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E)) itself an incomplete type? That appears to be indicated by paragraph 22 of section 6.2.5. If so, that seems to make it difficult to allocate such structures, because sizeof() is not allowed on incomplete types (paragraph 1 of section 6.5.3.4). For instance, I've routinely done things like this: struct foo {...

Hi I am new to C# and am rewritting some C++ code. I want to send a byte array over a serial port. The elements of the byte array are really a structure I have populated. My question is, how do I do this in C# - that is, I want to declare a byte array, assign a structure to it, and then be able to populate the structure's fields, then use the byte array Thank you Joe

Well, as a matter of fact I_HAD_MISSED a basic thing or two, anyway, although Ollie's answer makes perfectly sense when dealing with classes, it doesn't seem to me to apply as well if you have to instantiate an array of structures; consider the following useless code : using System; struct MyPointS

I have created a structure with five fields. I then create an array of this type of structure and place the structure into an array element. Say index one. I want to assign a value to field3 of the structure inside the array. When I try this, an error about late assignment appears. Is it possible to assign a value to a structure field that is in an array? I'm currently getting around the problem by creating a new structure, assign...

What are the ramifications if I were to instantiate an object tens of thousands of times and add them to an array? Or hundreds of thousands of times? Do you know if the act of instantiating a class takes a lot of storage or other resources? Would it be a severe performance penalty? From the .Net help doc:

Hi Willy, Thank you very much for your work. C++ code doesnot make any serialization. So at runtime C# code gives an serialization error at "msg_file_s sa = (msg_file_s) bf.Deserialize(ms);" I thought that it is very hard to memory map structure array. I need both read and write memory mapped file at both side of C# and C++.

So I need to talk to a devices that expects all of the bits and bytes I sent it to be in specific places (not yet 100% defined). I wanted to create a structure/class with all of the data in it and then convert that to a byte array, pass it to the device, then get a reply and then convert that to a structure. I'm having issues with making sure what I've coded is correct. Cant figure out how to define an array in structure that is a...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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.
