XmlElementAttribute Constructor (String)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the XmlElementAttribute class and specifies the name of the XML element.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    elementName As String _
)

public XmlElementAttribute(
    string elementName
)

Parameters

  • elementName
    Type: System.String
    The XML element name of the serialized member.

Remarks

By default, the XmlSerializer uses the member name as the XML element name when serializing a class instance. For example, a field named Vehicle generates an XML element named Vehicle. However, if you need a different element, such as Cars, pass it in the elementName parameter.
