Remarks

The XmlEnumAttribute belongs to a family of attributes that controls how the XmlSerializer serializes or deserializes an object.

Use the XmlEnumAttribute to change the enumeration that the XmlSerializer generates or recognizes (when it serializes or deserializes a class, respectively). For example, if an enumeration contains a member named One, but you prefer that the XML output be named Single, apply the XmlEnumAttribute to the enumeration member and set the Name property to "Single".

You can override the Name property value of an XmlEnumAttribute by creating an instance of the XmlEnumAttribute class and assigning it to the XmlEnum property of an XmlAttributes object.

For more information, see

the XmlAttributeOverrides class.

NoteNote:

You can use the word XmlEnum in your code instead of the longer XmlEnumAttribute.
