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

It sounds like you need an extra class:

public class Document
{
    [XmlAttribute("type")]
    public string Type { get; set; }
    [XmlText]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Where an instance (in the example) would have Type = "word" and Name = "document name"; documents would be a List.

By the way - public fields are rarely a good idea...
