XmlSerializer Constructor (Type, XmlAttributeOverrides)

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

Initializes a new instance of the XmlSerializer class that can serialize objects of the specified type into XML documents and deserialize XML documents into objects of the specified type. Each object to be serialized can itself contain instances of classes, which this overload can override with other classes.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    type As Type, _
    overrides As XmlAttributeOverrides _
)

public XmlSerializer(
    Type type,
    XmlAttributeOverrides overrides
)

Parameters

  • type
    Type: System.Type
    The type of the object to serialize.

Remarks

The overrides parameter can be used to control how fields and properties are encoded in XML. These settings override any attributes that already exist on the objects. This can be useful when the source code cannot be modified or multiple encodings are required for the same classes.
