Question

I am working with below mentioned structure where i have classes in that i have list of classes with a class name. Each class has its mapping.

I need to query this using rest sharp from a rest service.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> 
  <Response status="Success">
  <Classes>
  <Class className="Library">
  <ClassMappings>   
  < ClassMapping key="cls1" /> 
  < ClassMapping key="cls2" /> 
  < ClassMapping key="cls3" /> 
  </ ClassMappings>
  </ Class>
  < Class className="Staff">
  </ Class>
    .
    .
    .
  </Classes>

I have designed this classes but its not giving me mappings properly.

public class Class
{
    public string className { get; set; }
    //public ClassMappings Mappings { get; set; }
    public List<ClassMapping> Mappings { get; set; }
}

public class Classes : List<Class> { }

//public class ClassMappings //: List<ClassMapping>
//{
//    public List<ClassMapping> ClassMapping { get; set; }
//}

public class ClassMapping
{
    public string key { get; set; }
}

You can see i have already tried the commented code also. Where class mappings is a different class.

Can anyone help me designing classes for rest call.

Thanks

Answer 1

The array should be named ClassMappings instead of Mappings.

As a general solution you could load the xml as a generic object and then use the debugger to see the correct structure.
