I have a class with two properties for max and min values. It looks like this (ish):
public class Configuration
{
public int Max { get; set; }
public int Min { get; set; }
}
When I serialize this I get something like:
<Configuration>
<Max>10</Max>
<Min>0</Min>
</Configuration>
However, I need an extra element like this:
<Configuration>
<Bounds>
<Max>10</Max>
<Min>0</Min>
</Bounds>
</Configuration>
To do that you would need to introduce an extra layer into the object model, too. XmlSerializer likes the xml to be (roughly) a direct map to the objects:
[Serializable]
public class Configuration {
public Bounds Bounds { get; set; }
}
[Serializable]
public class Bounds {
public int Min {get;set;}
public int Max {get;set;}
}
The only other option is to implement IXmlSerializable, but you really don't want to do that unless you absolutely have no choice.
