Use custom XmlSerializer

[butch77]

Hi!
We're creating flash websites, and we are now switching over to flash
9. We decided now to use webservices for the front end. And we have
already been using webservices for the CMS.

Now my problem is that I'd like to use the same objects in C# for both
CMS and website to send through the webservice via SOAP, with the
little exception, that several attributes should be hidden from the
website that should not be published, like personal details.

To give you an example:

public class User {

private String _userName;
public String userName
{
get { return _userName; }
set { _userName= value; }
}

private String _address;
public String address
{
get { return _address; }
set { _address= value; }
}
}

Having this class 'User', I'd like the CMS to be able to see every
data available about the user, but I'd like for the website only the
userName to be seen NOT the address.

Now my idea is, that ideally I could override the XmlSerializer class,
and ask soap to use my class instead of the standard XmlSerializer
class. My Class could then check whether the user calling the
webservice is logged in and is authorized to see the information. So
ideally I'd only have to mark the attribute as private, like this:

public class User {

private String _userName;
public String userName
{
get { return _userName; }
set { _userName= value; }
}

[XmlAccessibilit y(private)]
private String _address;
public String address
{
get { return _address; }
set { _address= value; }
}
}
Any idea how that could work? Especially how to make Soap use my
XmlSerializer class?

(I'm using standard WebService in a asmx site)

Thanks!!!

I suggest you try Browsable[true/false] attribute on the properties you don't
want to appear in your GUI.

Hi HA!
Sorry, but this is not a solution for the problem I described.
