XmlAttributes.XmlType Property

Definition

Gets or sets an object that specifies how the XmlSerializer serializes a class to which the XmlTypeAttribute has been applied.

public:
 property System::Xml::Serialization::XmlTypeAttribute ^ XmlType { System::Xml::Serialization::XmlTypeAttribute ^ get(); void set(System::Xml::Serialization::XmlTypeAttribute ^ value); };
public System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute XmlType { get; set; }
public System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute? XmlType { get; set; }
member this.XmlType : System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute with get, set
Public Property XmlType As XmlTypeAttribute

Property Value

An XmlTypeAttribute that overrides an XmlTypeAttribute applied to a class declaration.

Examples

The following example creates an XmlTypeAttribute object, and assigns it to the XmlType property of an XmlAttributes object.

#using <System.Xml.dll>
#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml::Serialization;
public ref class Car
{
public:
   int ID;
};

public ref class Transportation
{
public:
   array<Car^>^Cars;
};

// Return an XmlSerializer used for overriding.
XmlSerializer^ CreateOverrider()
{
   // Create the XmlAttributes and XmlAttributeOverrides objects.
   XmlAttributes^ attrs = gcnew XmlAttributes;
   XmlAttributeOverrides^ xOver = gcnew XmlAttributeOverrides;

   /* Create an XmlTypeAttribute and change the name of the 
      XML type. */
   XmlTypeAttribute^ xType = gcnew XmlTypeAttribute;
   xType->TypeName = "Autos";

   // Set the XmlTypeAttribute to the XmlType property.
   attrs->XmlType = xType;

   /* Add the XmlAttributes to the XmlAttributeOverrides,
      specifying the member to override. */
   xOver->Add( Car::typeid, attrs );

   // Create the XmlSerializer, and return it.
   XmlSerializer^ xSer = gcnew XmlSerializer( Transportation::typeid,xOver );
   return xSer;
}

void SerializeObject( String^ filename )
{
   // Create an XmlSerializer instance.
   XmlSerializer^ xSer = CreateOverrider();

   // Create object and serialize it.
   Transportation^ myTransportation = gcnew Transportation;
   Car^ c1 = gcnew Car;
   c1->ID = 12;
   Car^ c2 = gcnew Car;
   c2->ID = 44;
   array<Car^>^temp0 = {c1,c2};
   myTransportation->Cars = temp0;

   // To write the file, a TextWriter is required.
   TextWriter^ writer = gcnew StreamWriter( filename );
   xSer->Serialize( writer, myTransportation );
}

      attrs.XmlType = xType;

      /* Add the XmlAttributes to the XmlAttributeOverrides,
         specifying the member to override. */
      xOver.Add(typeof(Car), attrs);

      // Create the XmlSerializer, and return it.
      XmlSerializer xSer = new XmlSerializer
      (typeof(Transportation), xOver);
      return xSer;
   }

   public void SerializeObject(string filename)
   {
      // Create an XmlSerializer instance.
      XmlSerializer xSer = CreateOverrider();

      // To write the file, a TextWriter is required.
      TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
      xSer.Serialize(writer, myTransportation);

Remarks

The XmlTypeAttribute can be used to control how a type is serialized by the XmlSerializer. For example, by default, when a type is serialized, the XmlSerializer uses the class name as the XML element name. By creating an XmlTypeAttribute, setting the XmlType property to it, and creating an XmlAttributeOverrides object, you can change the XML element name.
