Examples

The following example serializes a class named Transportation that contains a field named MyVehicles that returns an array of Vehicle objects. The example applies the XmlArrayItemAttribute to the field, allowing the XmlSerializer to insert instances of the Car class, which is derived from the Vehicle class, into the array.

   // Serializes the object, and closes the StreamWriter.

Applies to

XmlArrayItemAttribute(String)

Source:
XmlArrayItemAttribute.cs
Source:
XmlArrayItemAttribute.cs
Source:
XmlArrayItemAttribute.cs

Initializes a new instance of the XmlArrayItemAttribute class and specifies the name of the XML element generated in the XML document.

public:
 XmlArrayItemAttribute(System::String ^ elementName);
public XmlArrayItemAttribute (string elementName);
public XmlArrayItemAttribute (string? elementName);
new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute : string -> System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute
Public Sub New (elementName As String)

Parameters

elementName
String

The name of the XML element.

Examples

The following example serializes a class named Transportation that contains a field named MyVehicles that returns an array of Vehicle objects. The example applies the XmlArrayItemAttribute to the field, allowing the XmlSerializer to insert instances of the Car class, which is derived from the Vehicle class, into the array. While applying the attribute, the example sets the ElementName property using the elementName parameter.

Remarks

This overload sets the ElementName property.

Use this overload if you want the name of the generated XML element to differ from the member's identifier.

An XML document that includes namespaces can contain more than one version of an element name. For details, see the ElementName property.

Remarks

This overload sets the ElementName and the Type properties.

Use this overload if you want the name of the generated XML element to differ from the member's identifier.

An XML document that includes namespaces can contain more than one version of an element name. For details, see the ElementName property.
