copied!<p>If it is a direct map, you should just be able to use it directly, as long as the types as public and have public parameterless constructors, and the properties (including lists) are get/set.</p> <p>If you need to tweak the names there is an <code>XmlSerializer</code> constructor that allows you to specify all the attributes. This is ideal for your scenario, but you <strong>must</strong> cache and re-use the serializer if you use this constructor overload, otherwise you will leak memory (the dynamic assemblies are not collected).</p> <p>Here's a full example that removes one property (<code>XmlIgnore</code>), changes another to an attribute, and leaves a third as an element.</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.IO; using System.Xml.Serialization; public class Foo { public int A { get; set; } public string B { get; set; } public int C { get; set; } } static class Program { static readonly XmlSerializer serializer; static Program() { XmlAttributeOverrides or = new XmlAttributeOverrides(); or.Add(typeof(Foo), "A", new XmlAttributes { // change to an attrib XmlAttribute = new XmlAttributeAttribute("tweaked") }); or.Add(typeof(Foo), "B", new XmlAttributes { XmlIgnore = true // turn this one off }); // leave C as a default named element serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo), or); } static void Main() { Foo foo = new Foo { A = 123, B = "def", C = 456 }, clone; string xml; using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter()) { serializer.Serialize(sw, foo); xml = sw.ToString(); } using (StringReader sr = new StringReader(xml)) { clone = (Foo)serializer.Deserialize(sr); } Console.WriteLine(xml); Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine(clone.A); Console.WriteLine(clone.B); Console.WriteLine(clone.C); } } </code></pre> <p>Note also that if you only need to change things at the <em>type</em> level (such as <code>[XmlInclude]</code>) then you can do this via the <code>partial class</code> that LINQ-to-SQL generates; for example:</p> <pre><code>namespace My.Dal.Namespace { // add a type attribute to SomeEntity [XmlInclude(typeof(SomeDerivedEntity))] partial class SomeEntity { } } </code></pre>
