DomainClassXmlSerializer::TryCreateInstance Method (SerializationContext^, XmlReader^, Partition^)
Checks if the given XmlReader is pointing to a serialized model element instance that this serializer can handle.
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.12.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.12.0.dll)
public: virtual ModelElement^ TryCreateInstance( SerializationContext^ serializationContext, XmlReader^ reader, Partition^ partition )
Parameters
- serializationContext
-
Type:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling::SerializationContext^
The serialization context that stores serialization errors, if any.
- reader
-
Type:
System.Xml::XmlReader^
The XmlReader from which to read.
- partition
-
Type:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling::Partition^
The partition in which the new element will be created.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling::ModelElement^The created model element instance, or null if the reader is not pointing to a correct serialized instance.
Note: that this method only tries to create the ModelElement instance, without actually deserializing it. The deserialization will be done by the Read() methods. There are two reasons for this separation: 1) We may need to link the created ModelElement to its parent element (through embedding relationship) before we can deserializing it properly. 2) The deserialization can be customized.
