xmlserializer

Some context: We have a custom XSD and generate the WSDL and C# code using WSCF.blue. The client side uses ChannelFactory<T> and shares the interface which includes all the attributes added by WSCF.blue to match what is in the XSD. I'm trying to implement IErrorHandler.ProvideFault where it provides a generic FaultException<T> , but on the client side I'm getting back a non-generic FaultContract . This is what my ProvideFault method looks like: public void ProvideFault(Exception error, MessageVersion version, ref Message fault) { if (!(error is FaultException)) { FaultException faultException

My application saves a class away using XmlSerializer, and then later when required, creates an instance by deserialising it again. I would like to use some property members of my class (assigned during deserialisation) in my constructor logic. It is ok to assume that the properties will be assigned first, and once all properties are assigned will the constructor be called? Continuing on this topic, is there any documentation available on the sequence of events that take place during deserialisation? No it is not OK to assume the properties will be set when the constructor runs. The opposite

I am using the following code to create an xml document - XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add("", ""); new XmlSerializer(typeof(docket)).Serialize(Console.Out, i, ns); this works great in creating the xml file with no namespace attributes. i would like to also have no encoding attribute in the root element, but I cannot find a way to do it. Does anyone have any idea if this can be done? Thanks Old answer removed and update with new solution: Assuming that it's ok to remove the xml declaration completly, because it makes not much sense without the encoding

When using XML serialization in C#, I use code like this: public MyObject LoadData() { XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject)); using (TextReader reader = new StreamReader(settingsFileName)) { return (MyObject)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(reader); } } (and similar code for deserialization). It requires casting and is not really nice. Is there a way, directly in .NET Framework, to use generics with serialization? That is to say to write something like: public MyObject LoadData() { // Generics here. XmlSerializer<MyObject> xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(); using

I have a class with numerous Nullable<T> properties which I want to be serializable to XML as attributes. This is apparently a no-no as they are considered 'complex types'. So, instead I implement the *Specified pattern, where I create an addition *Value and *Specified property as follows: [XmlIgnore] public int? Age { get { return this.age; } set { this.age = value; } } [XmlAttribute("Age")] public int AgeValue { get { return this.age.Value; } set { this.age = value; } } [XmlIgnore] public bool AgeValueSpecified { get { return this.age.HasValue; } } Which works fine - if the 'Age' property
