XmlAnyAttribute when using XmlSerializer C#

[nelsonbrodyk]

Hey All,
I have set up some code to handle the serialization/deserialization of objects to xml. The challenge I have is that for the xml, I want to be able to add new attributes at any point programatically, that would fall under the "any" attribute.


My question is how is this done in C#? For what I've seen, you can use the [XmlAnyAttribute] attribute, but, this is applied to a property such as:

public XmlAttribute[] AnyAttrs {
get;
set;
}

What I want to do is to actually be able to add a new XmlAttribute to this item. Is this possible? ie. We add a new field on the screen, called "Person's Hair Color". I would love to go myObj.AddAnyAttr("HairColor", "green"), and when we serialize, that attribute is now added.

Thanks

Anyone have any ideas?
