System.Xml.Serialization.Configuration Namespace
Visual Studio 2010
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
The System.Xml.Serialization.Configuration namespace contains classes used to read the values found in application configuration files under the system.xml.serialization section.
The classes in this namespace are used by the serialization infrastructure to handle the configuration elements and cannot be used directly. For more information about configuration files, see Configuration File Schema for the .NET Framework.
Instead, to configure the XmlSerializer or XmlSchemaImporter, create an application configuration file and use the following XML elements:
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DateTimeSerializationSection | Infrastructure. Handles configuration settings for XML serialization of DateTime instances. |
![]() | RootedPathValidator | Validates the rules governing the use of the tempFilesLocation configuration switch. |
![]() | SchemaImporterExtensionElement | Infrastructure. Handles the configuration for the XmlSchemaImporter class. This class cannot be inherited. |
![]() | SchemaImporterExtensionElementCollection | Infrastructure. Handles the XML elements used to configure the operation of the XmlSchemaImporter. This class cannot be inherited. |
![]() | SchemaImporterExtensionsSection | Infrastructure. Handles the configuration for the XmlSchemaImporter class. This class cannot be inherited. |
![]() | SerializationSectionGroup | Infrastructure. Handles the XML elements used to configure XML serialization. |
![]() | XmlSerializerSection | Infrastructure. Handles the XML elements used to configure XML serialization. |
| Enumeration | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DateTimeSerializationSection::DateTimeSerializationMode | Infrastructure. Determines XML serialization format of DateTime objects. |
