How can I make the xmlserializer only serialize plain xml?

Question

I need to get plain xml, without the at the beginning and xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-i

Answer 1

This will write the XML to a file instead of a string. Object ticket is the object that I am serializing.

Namespaces used:

using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

Code:

XmlSerializerNamespaces emptyNamespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(new[] { XmlQualifiedName.Empty });

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ticket));

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings
{
    Indent = true,
    OmitXmlDeclaration = true
};

using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(fullPathFileName, settings))
{
    serializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, ticket, emptyNamespaces); 
}
