XmlSerializer::FromTypes Method (array<Type^>^)

 

Returns an array of XmlSerializer objects created from an array of types.

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

public:
static array<XmlSerializer^>^ FromTypes(
	array<Type^>^ types
)

Parameters

types
Type: array<System::Type^>^

An array of Type objects.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Xml.Serialization::XmlSerializer^>^

An array of XmlSerializer objects.

The FromTypes method allows you to efficiently create an array of XmlSerializer objects for processing an array of Type objects.

The following example uses the FromTypes method to return an array of XmlSerializer objects. The code includes three class definitions that are each used to create an array of Type objects.

#using <System.Xml.dll>
#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml::Serialization;

/* Three classes are included here. Each one will
be used to create three XmlSerializer objects. */
public ref class Instrument
{
public:
   String^ InstrumentName;
};

public ref class Player
{
public:
   String^ PlayerName;
};

public ref class Piece
{
public:
   String^ PieceName;
};

void GetSerializers()
{
   // Create an array of types.
   array<Type^>^types = gcnew array<Type^>(3);
   types[ 0 ] = Instrument::typeid;
   types[ 1 ] = Player::typeid;
   types[ 2 ] = Piece::typeid;

   // Create an array for XmlSerializer objects.
   array<XmlSerializer^>^serializers = gcnew array<XmlSerializer^>(3);
   serializers = XmlSerializer::FromTypes( types );

   // Create one Instrument and serialize it.
   Instrument^ i = gcnew Instrument;
   i->InstrumentName = "Piano";

   // Create a TextWriter to write with.
   TextWriter^ writer = gcnew StreamWriter( "Inst.xml" );
   serializers[ 0 ]->Serialize( writer, i );
   writer->Close();
}

int main()
{
   GetSerializers();
}
