用C＃编写Xml类

Question

I have a xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <Devices>
        <Settings>
            <Name>ABC</DeviceName>
            <HostNic>LAN_1</HostNic>
        </Settings>
    </Devices>
</Configuration>

I want to deserialize this to object form. I am trying to define a class structure for the xml file like this:

class Configuration
{
    [XmlElement("Address")]
    public List<Devices> deviceList = new List<Devices>();
}

class Devices
{
    [XmlElement("Address")]
    public List<Settings> settingList = new List<Settings>();
}

class Settings
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string HostNic { get; set; }
}

Is there any other appropriate way of defining class for this xml file?

Answer 1

Your Classes need some modifications, specially the attributes you have added.

[XmlRoot]
public class Configuration
{
    [XmlElement("Devices")]
    public List<Devices> deviceList = new List<Devices>();
}

public class Devices
{
    [XmlElement("Settings")]
    public List<Settings> settingList = new List<Settings>();
}

public class Settings
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string HostNic { get; set; }
}

Then you can de-serialize the XML into the above classes:

var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Configuration));
using (System.IO.TextReader reader = new System.IO.StringReader(<Your XML String>))
{
     Configuration config = (Configuration)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
