将对象序列化为具有其字段值的元素

Question

I have a class which needs to be serialized, it has the only 1 field to store a value:

public class Element
{
     public int Value { get; set; }
}

And it is saved as(btw: it's not a root element):

<Element>
     <Value>123</Value>
</Element>

However I need to get a bit another xml:

<Element>123</Element>

Serialization is performed using System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer. Is there any possibility to omit the Value -element and pass its value to Element ?

Answer 1

Just include XmlText attribute. That is all.

public class Element
{
    [XmlText]
    public int Value { get; set; }
}
