copied!<p>This can be achieved using <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlattributeoverrides.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">XmlAttributeOverrides</a>.</p> <p>Following is a basic example, <code>GetOverrides()</code> being the important part:</p> <pre><code>public class RailsXmlSerializer { private Type type; public RailsXmlSerializer(Type type) { this.type = type; } public void Serialize(Stream stream, object o) { XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add("", ""); XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(type, GetOverrides(type)); xmlSerializer.Serialize(stream, o, ns); } public object Deserialize(Stream stream) { XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(type, GetOverrides(type)); return xmlSerializer.Deserialize(stream); } private XmlAttributeOverrides GetOverrides(Type type) { XmlAttributeOverrides overrides = new XmlAttributeOverrides(); XmlAttributes classAttributes = new XmlAttributes(); classAttributes.XmlType = new XmlTypeAttribute(type.Name.ToLower()); overrides.Add(type, classAttributes); foreach (PropertyDescriptor property in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(type)) { XmlAttributes propertyAttributes = new XmlAttributes(); propertyAttributes.XmlElements.Add(new XmlElementAttribute(property.Name.ToLower().Replace('_', '-'))); overrides.Add(type, property.Name, propertyAttributes); } return overrides; } } </code></pre> <p>Obviously, this needs to be a more robust implementation, possibly as a decorator for <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlserializer.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">XmlSerializer</a>, with error and type checking. Of course, <code>GetOverrides()</code> can also be customized to provide the specific output you desire. That being said, here's the resulting output given a sample <code>Person</code> object:</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <person> <first-name>Jason</first-name> <last-name>Bourne</last-name> <active>true</active> </person> </code></pre> <p>And, given this input, deserialization is also performed correctly to provide the proper Person object.</p>
