    <p>I have a class, containing a list property, where the list contains objects that has an enum property.</p> <p>When I serialize this, it looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ibm850"?&gt; &lt;test&gt; &lt;events&gt; &lt;test-event type="changing" /&gt; &lt;test-event type="changed" /&gt; &lt;/events&gt; &lt;/test&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is it possible, through attributes, or similar, to get the Xml to look like this?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ibm850"?&gt; &lt;test&gt; &lt;events&gt; &lt;changing /&gt; &lt;changed /&gt; &lt;/events&gt; &lt;/test&gt; </code></pre> <p>Basically, use the property value of the enum as a way to determine the tag-name? Is using a class hierarchy (ie. creating subclasses instead of using the property value) the only way?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: After testing, it seems even a class-hierarchy won't actually work. If there is a way to structure the classes to get the output I want, even with sub-classes, that is also an acceptable answer.</p> <p>Here's a sample program that will output the above Xml (remember to hit Ctrl+F5 to run in Visual Studio, otherwise the program window will close immediately):</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml.Serialization; namespace ConsoleApplication18 { public enum TestEventTypes { [XmlEnum("changing")] Changing, [XmlEnum("changed")] Changed } [XmlType("test-event")] public class TestEvent { [XmlAttribute("type")] public TestEventTypes Type { get; set; } } [XmlType("test")] public class Test { private List&lt;TestEvent&gt; _Events = new List&lt;TestEvent&gt;(); [XmlArray("events")] public List&lt;TestEvent&gt; Events { get { return _Events; } } } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Test test = new Test(); test.Events.Add(new TestEvent { Type = TestEventTypes.Changing }); test.Events.Add(new TestEvent { Type = TestEventTypes.Changed }); XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Test)); XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add("", ""); serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, test, ns); } } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
