XML Serialization Question
Kodo | Posted 2:18pm 22. October 2005 Server Time |
I'm going to keep searching for the answer on this, but it would be helpful if anyone had any pointers.
Lets take a basic xml file
<ParentNode>
<Child1>
<ChildInfo>Some data<ChildInfo/>
<Child1/>
<Child2>
<ChildInfo>Some data<ChildInfo/>
<Child/2>
<ParentNode/>
I would like to have a serializable class that can produce this output. I'm not sure how to go about creating a class or method that can implement the hierarchical structure like that..
Any pointers welcome :) |

XmlTextWriter xtw = new XmlTextWriter("C:\\Serialized.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
xs.Serialize(xtw,pn);
}
}

Ok, I took a peek at the code and it's not exactly what I am aiming for. I'm looking to loop through the child nodes because I don't know how many there will be.
How do I create a property that can do this?

you can use a collection like an ArrayList

I was completely over analyzing the way to do this..
arraylist worked perfectly but you knew it would of course :)
