Deserialize from string instead TextReader

Question

I want to change my code from:

string path = @\"c:\\Directory\\test.xml\";
XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Car));

TextReader r = new StreamReader         


        

Answer 1

If you have the XML stored inside a string variable you could use a StringReader:

var xml = @"";
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Car));
using (var reader = new StringReader(xml))
{
    var car = (Car)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
