Examples

The following example uses the XmlSerializer to serialize a class named Food that includes an enumeration named FoodType. The FoodType enumeration is overridden by creating a SoapEnumAttribute for each enumeration and setting the SoapEnum property of a SoapAttributes to the SoapEnumAttribute. The SoapAttributes is added to a SoapAttributeOverrides that is used to create an XmlSerializer.

Remarks

Use the SoapEnumAttribute to override an existing enumeration. Create a new SoapEnumAttribute, set its properties and assign the object to the SoapEnum property of a SoapAttributes. For each member of the enumeration, you must create a new SoapAttributes and add it to the SoapAttributeOverrides. For more details, see the SoapAttributeOverrides class overview.

Note

You can use the word SoapEnum in your code instead of the longer SoapEnumAttribute.
