I'm trying to serialize an object to meet another systems requirements.
It need to look like this:
<custom-attribute name="Colour" dt:dt="string">blue</custom-attribute>
but instead is looking like this:
<custom-attribute>blue</custom-attribute>
So far I have this:
[XmlElement("custom-attribute")]
public String Colour{ get; set; }
I'm not really sure what metadata I need to achieve this.
You could implement IXmlSerializable:
public class Root
{
[XmlElement("custom-attribute")]
public Colour Colour { get; set; }
}
public class Colour : IXmlSerializable
{
[XmlText]
public string Value { get; set; }
public XmlSchema GetSchema()
{
return null;
}
public void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteAttributeString("dt:dt", "", "string");
writer.WriteAttributeString("name", "Colour");
writer.WriteString(Value);
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Root));
var root = new Root
{
Colour = new Colour
{
Value = "blue"
}
};
serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, root);
}
}
