Question

I have some XML which I would like to serialize into a class.

<MasterData>  
  <Data>  
    <SomeInnerData>  
      some inner data  
    </SomeInnerData>  
  </Data>  
</MasterData>
<MoreData>  
  <SubMoreData>moredate</SubMoreData>  
</MoreDate>  

and

[System.SerializableAttribute()]  
public class MasterData  
 {    
   public string SomeInnnerData {get;set;}  
   public string SubMoreDate {get;set;}  
 }  

How do I set the string member variables to serialize the appropriate data in the XML? My issue arises in that the element is not a child of the MasterData element.

Answer 1

The XML example you provided is not valid XML thus you will not be able to directly serialize it. You need a root node for it work this way.

Such that:

<AllData>
    <MasterData>
        <Data>
           <SomeInnerData>
                  some inner data
          </SomeInnerData>
        </Data>
    </MasterData> 
        <MoreData>
             <SubMoreData>moredate</SubMoreData>
     </MoreDate>
<AllData>

[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public class AllData
{
public MasterData MasterData {get;set;}
public MoreData MoreData {get;set;}
}

[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public class Data
{
    public string SomeInnnerData {get;set;}
}

[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public class MasterData
{
    public string SomeInnnerData {get;set;}
}

[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public class MasterData
{
    public Data Data {get;set;}
}

 [System.SerializableAttribute()]
 public class MoreData
 {
    public string SubMoreDate {get;set;}
 }
