Hi I have some XML I wish to deserialise to .NET POCOs using the XMLSerializer
the xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<message uuid="{2f1e274c-6a53-afea-3047-6dc739539656}">
<envelope received="a_date" subject="a_name">
<from>
<monitor name="Local Folder" user_description="" uuid="{668DC658-97D7-42c8-AE72-ED289DD02355}"/>
</from>
<to>
<account>
<factory name="a_name"/>
</account>
</to>
</envelope>
<status>
<action name="Folder" occured="a_date" type="monitor">
<session completed="a_date" name="a_name" started="a_date"/>
</action>
<action occured="a_date" type="monitor"/>
<action occured="a_date" type="translate">
<session completed="a_date" current="a_number" name="a_name" started="a_date" total="a_number" unit="time"/>
<session completed="a_date" current="a_number" name="a_name" started="a_date" total="a_number" unit="time"/>
</action>
<action occured="a_date" type="deliver">
<session completed="a_date" current="a_number" name="a_name" started="a_date" total="a_number" unit="byte"/>
<session completed="a_date" name="a_name" started="a_date" unit="byte"/>
<session completed="a_date" current="a_number" name="a_name" started="a_date" total="a_number" unit="byte"/>
</action>
<action occured="a_date" type="complete"/>
</status>
<host name="a_name"/>
</message>
Within the xml, I have a status section which contains a collection of actions, each action may contain a collection of sessions.
I have created classes for the XMLSerialiser to deserialize the xml:
namespace myNameSpace
{
[XmlRoot("message")]
public class message
{
[XmlAttribute("uuid")]
public string uuid { get; set; }
[XmlElement("envelope")]
public envelope envelope { get; set; }
[XmlArray("status")]
[XmlArrayItem(typeof(action))]
public ObservableCollection<action> status { get; set; }
[XmlElement("host")]
public host host { get; set; }
}
public class envelope
{
[XmlAttribute("received")]
public string received { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("subject")]
public string subject { get; set; }
[XmlElement("from")]
public from from { get; set; }
[XmlElement("to")]
public to to { get; set; }
}
#region envelope element definitions
public class from
{
[XmlElement("monitor")]
public monitor monitor { get; set; }
}
public class monitor
{
[XmlAttribute("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("user_description")]
public string user_description { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("uuid")]
public string uuid { get; set; }
}
public class to
{
[XmlElementAttribute("account")]
public account account { get; set; }
}
public class account
{
[XmlElementAttribute("factory")]
public factory factory { get; set; }
}
public class factory
{
[XmlAttribute("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
}
#endregion
public class action
{
[XmlAttribute("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("occured")]
public string occured { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("type")]
public string type { get; set; }
[XmlArray("action")]
[XmlArrayItem(typeof(session))]
public ObservableCollection<session> session { get; set; }
}
public class session
{
[XmlAttribute("completed")]
public string completed { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("current")]
public long current { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("started")]
public string started { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("total")]
public long total { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("unit")]
public string unit { get; set; }
}
public class host
{
[XmlAttribute("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
}
}
Mostly I get the object graph I desire with all the values correctly deserialzed, but I can not find a way to get the XMLSerialiser to deserialize the session collection within an action element - The are always empty.
Does anyone know how I might build my POCOs so that the XMLserialiser can create the session collections?
best regards
John.

I believe your problem is once you are at the action level, you cant specify it as the XmlArray Type. That would be the sessions. Give this a try and see if it works:
public class action
{
[XmlAttribute("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("occured")]
public string occured { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("type")]
public string type { get; set; }
[XmlArray(typeof(session))]
public ObservableCollection<session> session { get; set; }
}
First, session
must inherit action
.
Then you might need to replace public ObservableCollection<action> status { get; set; }
public ObservableCollection<action> status { get; set; }
public ObservableCollection<action> status { get; set; }
by public List<action> status { get; set; }
public List<action> status { get; set; }
public List<action> status { get; set; }
or public action[] status { get; set; }
public action[] status { get; set; }
public action[] status { get; set; }
(I don't if ObservableCollection is considered XmlSerializable).
Finally, you may have to add the [XmlInclude(typeof(session))]
on the action
class declaration.
