C＃将具有属性的XML元素反序列化为List

Question

Here's the XML:

<xml id = "1234">
    <connect id="2"/>
    <connect id="1"/>
    <connect id="21"/>
    <connect id="3"/>
    <connect id="7"/>
</xml>

Currently I am doing this:

public class xml
{
    //Constructor

    [XmlAttribute ("id")]
    public uint id;

    [XmlElement ("connect")]
    public List<Connection> Connections { get; set; }

    //Deserializer
}

public class Connection
{
    [XmlAttribute ("id")]
    public uint id { get; set; }
}

The goal is to get rid of the Connection class entirely and Deserialize the xml straight into:

List<uint> connections;

First, your XML is not valid, i guess it's just a typo - there no end tag for "connect" .

I recommend you to use linq XDocument .
Then it's easy:

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
List<uint> list = xdoc
                    .Descendants("connect")
                    .Select(node => uint.Parse(node.Attribute("id").Value))
                    .ToList();
