Automatic XMLSerializing

[Hman]

Hi,

This is a two part question:

1)trying to serialize a read only class member. I have a
public property with a get statement, but not set, hence
read only. When I serialize the class, this property is
omitted. Can I serialze a public read-only member?

Code segment:
public class Page
{
private static int _number = 0;
[XmlAttribute("number")]
public int Number
{
get
{
return _number;
}
}

}
2)How do I change the element name of a class?
I tried [XMLAttribute("Part")
public class SectionPart
{
}

but the compiler complained stating I couldn't do this.
I wan't the serialization to change the <SectionPart>
element to <Part>

How is this done?

Thanks a lot

hi,

Re 1: No You cannot serialize Read-Only properties.

Re 2: You cannot apply the XmlAttribute to a class. It can only be applied
to class members.

If I use custom serialization, can these things be done?

[XmlRootAttribute(ElementName = "Part")]
public class SelectionPart
{
....
}

If the above doesnt work, try putting the following

[XmlRootAttribute(Namespace="http://www.cpandl.com",
ElementName = "Part", Form = XmlSchemaForm.Qualified,
IsNullable = false)]
public class SelectionPart
{
....
}

Thanks for your response. What you recommended does not
work. I already have a [XmlRoot("Survey")] attribute
defined for class Survey.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
