Examples

The following example adds an UnreferencedObjectEventHandler to an XmlSerializer. The event is handled by the Serializer_UnreferencedObject method. To run the example, cut and paste the following XML into a file named UnrefObj.xml.

<wrapper>  
  <Group xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" id="id1" n1:GroupName=".NET" xmlns:n1="http://www.cpandl.com">  
   </Group>  
<Vehicle id="id2" n1:type="Vehicle" xmlns:n1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">  
    <licenseNumber xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" n1:type="q1:string">ABCD</licenseNumber>  
  </Vehicle>  
<Vehicle id="id3" n1:type="Vehicle" xmlns:n1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">  
    <licenseNumber xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" n1:type="q1:string">1234</licenseNumber>

// The file named "UnrefObj.xml" should contain this XML:


//  <Group xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Remarks

Use the UnreferencedId property when you need to know when more than one object raises the event. The property allows you to distinguish between multiple instances of unreferenced objects.

For more information about the UnreferencedId property, see the UnreferencedObject event.
