  1. POCustom XML-element name for base class field in serialization
    text
    copied!<p>How can I change XML-element name for field inherited from base class while doing serialization?</p> <p>For example I have next base class:</p> <pre><code>public class One { public int OneField; } </code></pre> <p>Serialization code:</p> <pre><code>static void Main() { One test = new One { OneField = 1 }; var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof (One)); TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter("Output.xml"); serializer.Serialize(writer, test); writer.Close(); } </code></pre> <p>I get what I need:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;One xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt; &lt;OneField&gt;1&lt;/OneField&gt; &lt;/One&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now I have created new class inherited from <code>A</code> with additional field and custom XML element name for it:</p> <pre><code>public class Two : One { [XmlElement("SecondField")] public int TwoField; } </code></pre> <p>Serialization code:</p> <pre><code>static void Main() { Two test = new Two { OneField = 1, TwoField = 2 }; var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof (Two)); TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter("Output.xml"); serializer.Serialize(writer, test); writer.Close(); } </code></pre> <p>As a result I get next output:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;Two xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt; &lt;OneField&gt;1&lt;/OneField&gt; &lt;SecondField&gt;2&lt;/SecondField&gt; &lt;/Two&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem is that I want to change <code>OneField</code> in this output to <code>FirstField</code> without touching base class code (because I will use it too and the names must be original). How can I accomplish this?</p> <p>Thank you.</p>
