XmlSerializer is not picking up a public array with a XmlArray attribute

Question

I have a container class that I'd like to serialize by calling one of its methods, but when it serializes it doesn't include the public array.

[XmlType("ActivityList")]
public class ActivityList : IEnumerable<Activity>
{
    [XmlArray("Balony")] //The only member I want serialized
    public Activity[] Activities { get; set; }

    public ActivityList()
    {
        this.Activities = new Activity[0];
    }

    public void Save(string filename)
    {
        XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());
        using (TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename))
        {
            serializer.Serialize(writer, this);
        }
    }
}

public class Activity
{
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [XmlIgnore]
    protected Duration Duration { get; private set; }

    public Activity()
    { }
}

Answer 1

我认为您忘记了在[XmlArrayItem("BalonyItem")]下添加[XmlArray("Balony")]

Answer 2

It looks like the XmlSerializer does some funny stuff with objects that inherit from IEnumerable. If you don't inherit from IEnumerable then XmlSerializer finds the array just fine.
