[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Specifies that the member (a field that returns an array of XElement or XNode objects) contains objects that represent an XML element that has no corresponding member in the object being serialized or deserialized.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
The XmlAnyElementAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |

 | XmlAnyElementAttribute() | Initializes a new instance of the XmlAnyElementAttribute class. |
| XmlAnyElementAttribute(String) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlAnyElementAttribute class and specifies the XML element name generated in the XML document. |
| XmlAnyElementAttribute(String, String) | Initializes a new instance of the XmlAnyElementAttribute class and specifies the XML element name generated in the XML document and its XML namespace. |
| Name | Description | |

| Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
