XmlArrayItemAttribute::Form Property
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the name of the generated XML element is qualified.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
public: property XmlSchemaForm Form { XmlSchemaForm get(); void set(XmlSchemaForm value); }
Property Value
Type: System.Xml.Schema::XmlSchemaFormOne of the XmlSchemaForm values. The default is XmlSchemaForm.None.
The Form property determines whether an XML element name is qualified, based on the World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) specification "Namespaces in XML."
If the Namespace property is set to any value, attempting to set the Form property to XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified throws an exception.
The default value, XmlSchemaForm.None, instructs the XmlSerializer to check the schema for the XML document to determine whether the namespace is qualified. For elements, the XmlSerializer checks the value of the schema-element attribute elementFormDefault. For attributes, it checks the value of the schema-element attribute attributeFormDefault. For example, the following XML Schema indicates that the Name element is qualified, while the Number element is unqualified.
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <element name="Name"/> <attribute name="Number"/> </schema>
The following example sets the Form property for the Vehicle class to XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, and the Form property for the Car class to XmlSchemaForm.Qualified.
public ref class Vehicle { public: String^ id; }; public ref class Car: public Vehicle { public: String^ Maker; }; public ref class Transportation { public: // Specifies the Form property value. [XmlArray("Vehicles")] [XmlArrayItem(Vehicle::typeid, Form=XmlSchemaForm::Unqualified), XmlArrayItem(Car::typeid, Form=XmlSchemaForm::Qualified)] array<Vehicle^>^MyVehicles; };
