Deserializing XML, how do I access attributes?

I am deserializing the following XML:

<root>
  <foo> some content </foo>
  <bar id="someId">someContent</bar>
</root>

Into a Class object below using XMLSerializer.

[XmlRootAttribute("foobar")]
public class foobar
{

    [XmlElementAttribute("foo")]
    public string foo { get; set; }

    [XmlElementAttribute("bar")]
    public string bar { get; set; }        

}

However, this does not pick up someId within the bar tag. What change do I need to make to pick it up as well?

I tried this:

In the class above, I changed the second property to:

[XmlElementAttribute("bar")]
public Bar bar { get; set; } 

And then defined a new class:

[XmlTypeAttribute]
    public class Bar
    {
        [XmlAttribute("id")]
        public string id { get; set; }

        [XmlText]
        public string Value { get; set; }
    }

This still picks up the value but not the Id.

Answer 1

try to use XmlAttribute without (“id”) that should fix it.
