What is the purpose of the PropertySpecified pattern used by XML Serialization ?
What problem does it tryto solve ?
It tries to solve the problem that
intfloatand so on cannot be null, so it has no other way to signal whether the attribute/element exists in the XML file or not.It was really only useful in .NET 1.x, since in .NET 2 you can just use
Nullable<T>(e.g.int?) instead.
