How to add attributes for C# XML Serialization

Question

I am having an issue with serializing and object, I can get it to create all the correct outputs except for where i have an Element that needs a value and an attribute. Here

Answer 1

The string class doesn't have a type property, so you can't use it to create the desired output. You should create a Document class instead :

public class Document
{
    [XmlText]
    public string Name;

    [XmlAttribute("type")]
    public string Type;
}

And you should change the Document property to type Document
