XML serialization of enums

Question

I have problems with serializing enum values.

Here is the code:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = \"\", IsNullable = false)]
pub         


        

Answer 1

In your actual code, is the member:

• public
• read+write (for fields: not readonly; for properties: public get+set)
• of a public type

?

All 3 must be true. For nested types, every parent type in the nesting must be public.

Additional things that would exclude it:

• nullable and null
• is if DefaultValue
• a ShouldSerialize or Specified returned false
• it is IxmlSerializable
