XmlSerializer.Deserialize忽略不必要的元素

Question

I have used xsd.exe to generate .cs file from my XML response.

In my XML response there are few elements which are not required in app, I want to omit those, so I removed them from response xml file and regenerated the .cs file.

I use this .cs file to deserialize from my xml server response (which has those unnecessary elements), which causes System.InvalidOperationException.

Please let me know how can I parse or deserialize the server response to the class which has only those properties which are required.

I wok for Windows Phone app.

Thanks, Kavit.

Try decorating the properties you no longer want with the XmlIgnoreAttribute attribute.

By default, all public fields and public read/write properties are serialized by the XmlSerializer. That is, the value of each public field or property is persisted as an XML element or XML attribute in an XML-document instance.

To override the default serialization of a field or property, create an XmlAttributes object, and set its XmlIgnore property to true. Add the object to an XmlAttributeOverrides object and specify the type of the object that contains the field or property to ignore, and the name of the field or property to ignore.
