Question

I’d like to know if it is possible to deserialize a char from xml into a c# object.

So I’d like to deserialize :

    <MyChar>a<MyChar>

into:

    [XmlElement]
    public char MyChar { get; set; }

I was hoping to use [XmlElement(DataType = “char”)] but char is not a supported type

Answer 1

As you said , it not be supported.

But you can implement by this way …

    public string MyCharString { get; set; }

    [XmlIgnore]
    public char MyChar
    {
        get
        {
            return Convert.ToChar(MyCharString);
        }
    }
