Gets or sets an object that specifies how the XmlSerializer serializes a class to which the XmlTypeAttribute has been applied.
Namespace: System.Xml.Serialization
Assembly: System.Xml.Serialization (in System.Xml.Serialization.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property XmlType As XmlTypeAttribute
public XmlTypeAttribute XmlType { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute
An XmlTypeAttribute that overrides an XmlTypeAttribute applied to a class declaration.
Remarks
The XmlTypeAttribute can be used to control how a type is serialized by the XmlSerializer. For example, by default, when a type is serialized, the XmlSerializer uses the class name as the XML element name. By creating an XmlTypeAttribute, setting the XmlType property to it, and creating an XmlAttributeOverrides object, you can change the XML element name.
