XmlRoot ElementName ignored

1 New Member
Using C#, XmlSerializer, XP

I have a class that I want to serialize, for compatibility reasons I need a specific ElementName. To accomplish this I added [XmlRoot( ElementName="Sp ecificName")] right before the class definition. When I serialize the class, though, it uses the class name rather than the SpecificName. It appears to be ignoring the XmlRoot attribute.

All the other attributes within the class work perfectly fine, just the XmlRootAttribut e that is not quite working.

The xml is being serialized to a string using XmlTextWriter and XmlSerializer.

Is that *supposed* to work? That seems like it would defeat the purpose of serializing objects if they are not ACTUALLY a serialization of the object.
Like when de-serializing it, how would the CLR know whether you wanted the object with a specificname, or the real object that you told to be 'called' specificname?

I'm seeing a problem that has me flummoxed. The only thing I can think of is that I'm violating some rule I don't know about. I have some code that does some processing and then does a header('Location: ...) jump to page A on success or falls through to the jump to page B. This is the code: if ( mysql_query( 'LOCK TABLES tableX WRITE', $link ) ) { mysql_query( $q, $link ) ; // store the record

I did a working code with CDONTS on NT4 Now I am testing is on w2k and it looks like objCDONTS.Send is completely ignored. I think is it ignored because it throws no errors, neither does the rest of the code setting objCDONTS=Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") and then manipulating its properties. Do I need to somehow set IIS5 to make objCDONTS.Send work?

I'm new to this, so please bear with me if this is a dumb question - In OnClick, this code is ignored - this.class='someclass' This is also ignored - document.getElementByID('someid').class = 'someclass'

Hi, for what reason do I put XmlType and XmlRoot attributes on classes for XML serialization? I understand the reason for the top element, but not why it is sometimes put for child elements. -- Daniel

I set a breakpoint in a project, however the breakpoint is ignored. This was in the TimeTracker project from the Asp.Net site. I added it at the Login method of the TTUser class (TTUser.vb). I know I have the right insertion point where I want to begin stepping, because I changed "return username" to "return string.empty", and even when I put in the right login info, it doesn't let me enter the app. So this test told me that I have the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

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.
