Public Property Type As Type
Property Value
The Type of the object to include.
Examples
The following example defines a class named Group
, which contains a field named Employees
that returns an array of Employee
objects. The example derives the Manager
class from the Employee
class, and applies the XmlIncludeAttribute to the Employee
class. When the example creates a Group
object, it inserts a Manager
object into the Employee
array. Lastly, the example serializes the Group
object.
