xml attributes and serialization

[Giles M]

i need to serialize my class into xml that looks like this:

<dog>
<breed type="large">spaniel</breed>
</dog>

but i'm not sure how to get an attribute into a property of my class, i can
use the xmlattribute tag to make an attribute of my dog class but i want an
attribute on my property, is this possible? if so how do i do it?

many thanks

Hi,

you should be able to do this. I've just tested this class and it
produces the output you where giving as an example. (with an
additional namespace)

[XmlRootAttribute(Namespace="http://www.marv-in.net/Examples/XMLandSuch",
sNullable=false)]
public class Dog
{
/// <remarks/>
public DogBreed breed;
}
/// <remarks/>
public class DogBreed
{
/// <remarks/>
[XmlTextAttribute]
public string Text;
/// <remarks/>
[XmlAttributeAttribute]
public string type;
}

Hope this helps,

Marvin Smit.
