XmlRoot() for Xml Serilization does not work

Question

I\'m trying to get my httphandler to print out an XML file with the format:

    ...         


        

Answer 1

[XmlRoot(...)] only affects the outermost element (...). I suspect you want [XmlElement(...)]. Of course, another way is to write an object wrapper:

[XmlRoot("SheduledShows")]
public class Shows {
    [XmlElement("SheduledShowElement")]
    public List Shows {get;set;}
}

And serialize this wrapper object instead of just a list.
