C# deserialize xml error ReadElementContentAs() methods cannot be called on an element that has child elements

问题

I've looked at several similar SO questions but still can't solve my issue.

Using the following code I try to deserialize:

  private static QCOrderInfo GetOrderFromXml(XDocument xmlDoc){
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(QCOrderInfo));
    var post = 
    (QCOrderInfo)serializer.Deserialize(xmlDoc.Root.CreateReader());

    return post ?? new QCOrderInfo();
   }

The error resulting:

  System.Xml.XmlException: ReadElementContentAs() methods cannot be called on an element that has child elements.
  at System.Xml.XmlReader.SetupReadElementContentAsXxx(String methodName)

Too much code to post but view working dotnetfiddle: https://dotnetfiddle.net/pRCWQh

回答1:

Your appoved appraisers are not getting deserialized properly.

So add a class

[Serializable]
    public class ApprovedAppraisers
    {
        [XmlElement(ElementName = "Appraiser")]
        public string Appraiser { get; set; }
    }

And change

public string[] ApprovedAppraisers { get; set; }

to

public ApprovedAppraisers[] ApprovedAppraisers { get; set; }
