如何将Dictionary <string，object>序列化/反序列化为XML

Question

我正在尝试为我的应用程序编写一个保存例程，其中应用程序的几个部分将项添加到Dictionary，然后save函数将它们写入XML文件。 打开例程需要读取这些文件并重新填充Dictionary，然后我可以将这些对象放回我的应用程序中。 我正在努力解决我现在的例程的反序列化问题。 我的保存程序如下

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

// Write down the XML declaration
XmlDeclaration xmlDeclaration = xmlDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null);

// Create the root element
XmlElement rootNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("TireStudy");
xmlDoc.InsertBefore(xmlDeclaration, xmlDoc.DocumentElement);
xmlDoc.AppendChild(rootNode);

foreach (var saveItem in _SaveItems)
{
    XPathNavigator nav = rootNode.CreateNavigator();
    using (var writer = nav.AppendChild())
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(saveItem.Value.GetType());
        writer.WriteWhitespace("");
        serializer.Serialize(writer, saveItem.Value);
        writer.Close();
    }
}

xmlDoc.Save(fileName);

这个例程用于创建一个文件，但是我希望字典的键值也保存在文件中，我不知道如何反序列化这个创建的文件，因为我不知道对象的类型在我读它们之前。

第2部分（我讨厌在问题中添加新部分，但我没有看到更好的方法来解决前面的问题）

我现在有以下代码，

var knownTypes = new List<Type>
{
   typeof(ObservableCollection<string>), 
   typeof(ObservableCollection<Segments>),
   typeof(Segments),
   typeof(List<string>)
};
var serialized = _SaveItems.Serialize(knownTypes);

但我得到以下例外

Type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]' cannot be added to list of known types since another type 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection`1[System.String]' with the same data contract name 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays:ArrayOfstring' is already present. If there are different collections of a particular type - for example, List<Test> and Test[], they cannot both be added as known types.  Consider specifying only one of these types for addition to the known types list.

如果我删除typeof（ObservableCollection）或typeof（List），则异常抱怨它需要我删除的那个。

你可以使用DataContractSerializer在此解释后 ，不过你可以作为参数传递已知类型的串行支持嵌套的object类型类：

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public static class SerializationExtensions
{
    public static string Serialize<T>(this T obj, IEnumerable<Type> knownTypes)
    {
        var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(obj.GetType(), knownTypes);
        using (var writer = new StringWriter())
        using (var stm = new XmlTextWriter(writer))
        {
            serializer.WriteObject(stm, obj);
            return writer.ToString();
        }
    }
    public static T Deserialize<T>(this string serialized, IEnumerable<Type> knownTypes)
    {
        var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T), knownTypes);
        using (var reader = new StringReader(serialized))
        using (var stm = new XmlTextReader(reader))
        {
            return (T)serializer.ReadObject(stm);
        }
    }
}

public class Address
{
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
}
public class CodedAddress
{
    public int CountryCode { get; set; }
    public int CityCode { get; set; }
}
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var persons1 = new Dictionary<string, Address>();
        persons1.Add("John Smith", new Address { Country = "US", City = "New York" });
        persons1.Add("Jean Martin", new Address { Country = "France", City = "Paris" });

        // no need to provide known types to the serializer
        var serializedPersons1 = persons1.Serialize(null);
        var deserializedPersons1 = serializedPersons1.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, Address>>(null);


        var persons2 = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        persons2.Add("John Smith", new Address { Country = "US", City = "New York" });
        persons2.Add("Jean Martin", new CodedAddress { CountryCode = 33, CityCode = 75 });

        // must provide known types to the serializer
        var knownTypes = new List<Type> { typeof(Address), typeof(CodedAddress) };
        var serializedPersons2 = persons2.Serialize(knownTypes);
        var deserializedPersons2 = serializedPersons2.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(knownTypes);
    }
}
