public XmlSerializer ( Type type, String defaultNamespace )
public function XmlSerializer ( type : Type, defaultNamespace : String )
Not applicable.
Parameters
- type
The type of the object that this XmlSerializer can serialize.
- defaultNamespace
The default namespace to use for all the XML elements.
The following example constructs an XmlSerializer that serializes an object named Widget. The example sets various properties of the object before calling the Serialize method.
private: void SerializeObject( String^ filename ) { XmlSerializer^ serializer = gcnew XmlSerializer( OrderedItem::typeid,"http://www.cpandl.com" ); // Create an instance of the class to be serialized. OrderedItem^ i = gcnew OrderedItem; // Insert code to set property values. // Writing the document requires a TextWriter. TextWriter^ writer = gcnew StreamWriter( filename ); // Serialize the object, and close the TextWriter serializer->Serialize( writer, i ); writer->Close(); } void DeserializeObject( String^ filename ) { XmlSerializer^ serializer = gcnew XmlSerializer( OrderedItem::typeid,"http://www.cpandl.com" ); // A FileStream is needed to read the XML document. FileStream^ fs = gcnew FileStream( filename,FileMode::Open ); // Declare an object variable of the type to be deserialized. OrderedItem^ i; // Deserialize the object. i = dynamic_cast<OrderedItem^>(serializer->Deserialize( fs )); // Insert code to use the properties and methods of the object. }
private void SerializeObject(String filename)
{
XmlSerializer serializer =
new XmlSerializer(OrderedItem.class.ToType(),
"http://www.cpandl.com");
// Create an instance of the class to be serialized.
OrderedItem i = new OrderedItem();
// Insert code to set property values.
// Writing the document requires a TextWriter.
TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
// Serialize the object, and close the TextWriter
serializer.Serialize(writer, i);
writer.Close();
} //SerializeObject
private void DeserializeObject(String filename)
{
XmlSerializer serializer =
new XmlSerializer(OrderedItem.class.ToType(),
"http://www.cpandl.com");
// A FileStream is needed to read the XML document.
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open);
// Declare an object variable of the type to be deserialized.
OrderedItem i;
// Deserialize the object.
i = (OrderedItem)serializer.Deserialize(fs);
// Insert code to use the properties and methods of the object.
} //DeserializeObject
