When deserializing a document using XmlSerializer are not deserialized correctly
Document
<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<ns0:ElementA xmlns:ns0=\"urn:some-namespace\">
<Prop1>Some Value</Prop1>
<Prop2>Some other value</Prop2>
</ns0:ElementA>
Class
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "urn:some-namespace")]
public class ElementA
{
[XmlElement]
public string Prop1 { get; set; }
[XmlElement]
public string Prop2 { get; set; }
}
Both Prop1 and Prop2 are null at the end of the deserialization.
I cannot change the structure of the document to get rid of the namespace so I need to handle the deserialization properly on my side.
The document has been simplified for the purpose of reproduction
How should I set the attributes on the ElementA to handle the deserialization correctly??
-- Here is the full code for reproducing the problem --
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
public class Program
{
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "urn:some-namespace")]
public class ElementA
{
[XmlElement]
public string Prop1 { get; set; }
[XmlElement]
public string Prop2 { get; set; }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var element =
"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" + Environment.NewLine +
"<ns0:ElementA xmlns:ns0=\"urn:some-namespace\">" + Environment.NewLine+ " <Prop1>Some Value</Prop1>" + Environment.NewLine +
" <Prop2>Some other value</Prop2>" + Environment.NewLine +
"</ns0:ElementA>";
XmlSerializer serializer = XmlSerializer.FromTypes(new[] { typeof(ElementA) })[0];
ElementA result;
using (var reader = new StringReader(element))
{
result = serializer.Deserialize(reader) as ElementA;
}
Console.WriteLine("Prop1: " + result.Prop1);
Console.WriteLine("Prop2: " + result.Prop2);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Originally posted as a comment, since I haven't verified it, but:
<Prop1>Some Value</Prop1>
is not the same as
<ns0:Prop1>Some Value</ns0:Prop1>
So to get it working, you probably just need:
[XmlElement(Namespace="")]
public string Prop1 { get; set; }
[XmlElement(Namespace="")]
public string Prop2 { get; set; }
