The problem is similar to this:
but specifically for attribute. I have something like:
<person xmlns:a="http://example.com" xmlns:b="http://sample.net">
<a:fName a:age="37">John</a:fName>
<b:lName>Wayne</b:lName>
</person>
and I can't find a way to put the prefix to the attribute "age".
How the solution proposed in the link above must be changed to reach the goal? I tried different solution without success.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace XMLSer
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FName fname = new FName { Age = 16.5, Text = "John" };
Person person = new Person();
person.fname = fname;
person.lname = "Wayne";
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Person));
ser.Serialize(Console.Out, person);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "person")]
public class Person
{
[XmlElement(Namespace = "http://example.com")]
public FName fname;
[XmlElement(Namespace = "http://sample.com")]
public string lname;
[XmlNamespaceDeclarations]
public XmlSerializerNamespaces xmlns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
public Person()
{
xmlns.Add("a", "http://example.com");
xmlns.Add("b", "http://sample.com");
}
}
public class FName
{
[XmlAttribute("age")]
public double Age;
[XmlText]
public string Text;
}
}
You should be able to do the same as in the linked example (but using the XmlAttributeAttribute instead of the XmlElementAttribute). Your property declaration would be something like:
[XmlAttribute(Namespace = "http://example.com")]
public decimal Age { get; set; }
Further details and examples for the XmlAttributeAttribute are on the msdn site.
To get the attribute on the fName element I think that you would need the age to be a property of the first name property. Is the attribute supposed to be on the fName element or on the person element?
I had the same problem trying to specify "xsi:schemaLocation" as an attribute.
I fixed it doing the next:
[XmlElement("xsi", Namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")]
public string Xsi { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute(AttributeName = "schemaLocation", Namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")]
public string SchemaLocation { get; set; }
Note: Both NameSpaces must match.
