Returns the name of the assembly that contains one or more versions of the XmlSerializer especially created to serialize or deserialize the specified type.

Namespace: System.Xml.Serialization
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
Public Shared Function GetXmlSerializerAssemblyName ( _
	type As Type _
) As String

[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Name = "FullTrust")]
public static string GetXmlSerializerAssemblyName(
	Type type
)

Visual C++

[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::Demand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
public:
static String^ GetXmlSerializerAssemblyName(
	Type^ type
)

[<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Name = "FullTrust")>]
static member GetXmlSerializerAssemblyName : 
        type:Type -> string

Parameters

type: Type: System.Type
The Type you are deserializing.

Return Value

Type: System.String
The name of the assembly that contains an XmlSerializer for the type.

Remarks

The XML Serializer Generator Tool (Sgen.exe) creates an XML serialization assembly for types in a specified assembly to improve the run-time performance of an XmlSerializer when it serializes or deserializes objects of the specified types. Use the GetXmlSerializerAssemblyName to return the name of such an assembly.

If you are distributing such an assembly as part of a client application that calls a Web service, you can apply the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute to the client type to specify the location and name of the assembly.
