XML Serialize Attribute, Elements

[Markus Freitag]

Hello,

My goal is to read in the file according to the customer's specifications and then rewrite it.

Then I have a structure, a data model that I can extend.




How to do it right? How can I write attributes instead of elements?
Maybe someone has tips and examples. Thank you in advance.

With best regards Markus

The result is this. All variables are elements.

<Orders>
<ListMaterialProperties />
<ListIndexPanels>
<IndexPanel>
<No>1</No>
<Finished>0</Finished>
<ListIndexProperties>
<IndexProperty>

Save xml with this.

private static readonly XmlWriterSettings WriterSettingsExclusiv = new XmlWriterSettings { OmitXmlDeclaration = true, Indent = true, Encoding = new UTF8Encoding(true) };
private static readonly XmlSerializerNamespaces Namespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(new[] { new XmlQualifiedName("", ""), });
private static readonly XmlReaderSettings ReaderSettings = new XmlReaderSettings { CheckCharacters = false };

public void SaveTraceXML<T>(string file, T dataObject)
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

using (Stream stream = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Create))
using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stream, WriterSettingsExclusiv))
{
serializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, dataObject, Namespaces);
}
}
