Generate attribute instead of element node

[Daniel Lidström]

Hi,

how do I generate attribut instead of element name? For example:

I want:
<car
name="Ford"
/>

instead of
<car
<name>Ford</name>
</car>

I have a class such as:
public __gc class Car {
System::String* name;
};

I think it can be done by adding [XmlAttribute("name")] right above
System::String* name; but I can't compile it because of error: error C2337:
'XmlAttribute' : attribute not found; it is neither a built-in nor a custom
attribute that is accessible in the current namespace

How do I do this? I am using managed C++.
Thank you!

It's System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute.
I believe in C++ you have to use full name:
[XmlAttributeAttribute("name")]

You should either use the full class name or import the namespace:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttribute("name")]
