Class DynamicXmlSerializable

Namespace

Cuemon.Xml.Serialization

Assembly

Cuemon.Xml.dll

Provides a factory based way to create and wrap an IXmlSerializable implementation.

public static class DynamicXmlSerializable

Inheritance

object

DynamicXmlSerializable

Examples

The following example wraps an anonymous object with DynamicXmlSerializable and provides a custom writer that emits Name and Score child elements. The resulting XML is written to a StringWriter and printed to the console.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using Cuemon.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Cuemon.Xml.Serialization;

public class DynamicXmlSerializableExample
{
    public void Demonstrate()
    {
        var data = new { Name = "Alice", Score = 95 };
        var serializable = DynamicXmlSerializable.Create(data,
            writer: (w, src) =>
            {
                w.WriteElementString("Name", src.Name);
                w.WriteElementString("Score", src.Score.ToString());
            });

        using var sw = new StringWriter();
        using var writer = XmlWriter.Create(sw);
        serializable.WriteXml(writer);
        writer.Flush();
        Console.WriteLine(sw.ToString());
    }
}

Methods

Create<T>(T, Action<XmlWriter, T>, Action<XmlReader>, Func<XmlSchema>)

Creates a dynamic instance of an IXmlSerializable implementation wrapping WriteXml(XmlWriter) through writer, ReadXml(XmlReader) through reader and GetSchema() through schema.

public static IXmlSerializable Create<T>(T source, Action<XmlWriter, T> writer, Action<XmlReader> reader = null, Func<XmlSchema> schema = null)

Parameters

source T

The object that needs support for an IXmlSerializable implementation.

writer Action<XmlWriter, T>

The delegate that converts source to its XML representation.

reader Action<XmlReader>

The delegate that generates source from its XML representation.

schema Func<XmlSchema>

The function delegate that can provide a schema of the source.

Returns

IXmlSerializable

An IXmlSerializable implementation of source.

Type Parameters

T

The type of the source to implement an IXmlSerializable.
