XML Serialization of Arrays and Collections

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 22:35:32 GMT

Arrays and collections can be serialized to XML. The standard action when using the default serializer is for the name of the collection property to be added to the XML, with a contained element for each item named according to the items' data types.

Streaming with LINQ to XML - Part 2 - Microsoft XML Team's WebLog - Si

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 08:01:09 GMT

In today's world, developers have a somewhat unpleasant choice between doing this efficiently with fairly difficult APIs such as the XmlReader/XmlWriter or SAX, and doing this easily with DOM or XSLT and accepting a fairly steep performance penalty as documents get very large.

Fluent XML Serialization-Part 3: How Serialization Is Performed

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:58:04 GMT

Reading an Excel spreadsheet into dynamic objects

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 02:44:09 GMT

Excel represents documents using Office Open XML (OOXML), a zipped XML based format developed for spreadsheet and chart representation. In this article I am going to demonstrate parsing an Excel spreadsheet and loading the data into a generic List. OOXML was incorporated into Office in 2007 therefore the following code will not work with older versions of Excel.

Fluent XML Serialization-Introduction

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:28:18 GMT

The System.Xml.XmlSerializer class enables .NET applications to serialize/deserialize most types to and from XML using only a few lines of code. This is a great capability and provides an easy API for simple persistence and interoperability scenarios. As a developer, you have some degree of control over the XML that's generated, but the process is mostly rigid and not easy to extend or customize. I have created a new flexible XML serialization framework that overcomes the limitations of the XmlSerializer class. Read on to find out more.

Controlling XML Serialization of Attributes

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:20:59 GMT

The default action, when serializing objects to XML, is for each public property and field to generate an XML element. The XmlAttribute attribute can be applied to public members to modify this behaviour and instead generate XML attributes.

Controlling Serialization of XML Elements

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 23:42:58 GMT

When serializing classes to XML, each public property and field value is transformed into an XML element. The name of the element matches the name of the property. The XmlElement attribute allows the names and formatting of XML tags to be modified.

DataSets and XML - The Simplistic Approach

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 06:09:46 GMT

One of the first ways I learned how to read xml data from external data sources was by using a DataSet's ReadXML function. This function takes file path for an XML document and then converts it to a Dataset. This functionality is great when you need a simple way to process an XML document. In addition the DataSet object also offers a simple way to save data in an xml format by using the WriteXML function.

Controlling XML Serialization of the Root Element

Tue, 04 Jan 2011 23:44:55 GMT

Every XML document includes a root element that contains all of the other information held. When serializing objects to XML the root element's construction is linked to the name of the class or structure unless modified with the XmlRoot attribute.
