Syntax
public static class ExtensionMethodsForClassicSerialization

Methods

Context(XmlNameTable)

Used to create a System.Xml.XmlParserContext from an XmlNameTable.

Declaration
public static XmlParserContext Context(this XmlNameTable this)
Parameters
System.Xml.XmlNameTable this

The XmlNameTable from which to create the context.
Returns
System.Xml.XmlParserContext

The context.

EnableClassicListNaming(IConfigurationContainer)

Enables ArrayOfT and ListOfT naming conventions for arrays and lists, respectively.

Declaration
public static IConfigurationContainer EnableClassicListNaming(this IConfigurationContainer this)
Parameters
IConfigurationContainer this

The configuration container to configure.
Returns
IConfigurationContainer

The configured configuration container.

EnableClassicMode(IConfigurationContainer)

Applies the classic emit behavior (Classic) and processes lists and dictionaries without members. That is, if your list or dictionary is extended with its own properties and members, they will not be serialized nor deserialized if applied in the document.

Declaration
public static IConfigurationContainer EnableClassicMode(this IConfigurationContainer this)
Parameters
IConfigurationContainer this

The configuration container to configure.
Returns
IConfigurationContainer

The configured configuration container.

EnableClassicSchemaTyping(IConfigurationContainer)

Enables the xsi:type for classic deserialization purposes. This will be used to resolve types during the serialization process if no other type resolution mechanisms are successful in resolving a type.

Declaration
public static IConfigurationContainer EnableClassicSchemaTyping(this IConfigurationContainer this)
Parameters
IConfigurationContainer this

The configuration container to configure.
Returns
IConfigurationContainer

The configured configuration container.
See Also

EnableXmlText(IConfigurationContainer)

Adds basic support for the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTextAttribute. Note that this is not a very robust solution and there are deficiencies in the fidelity with the classic serializer's implementation. Use with care, and make a wish. 😆

Declaration
public static IConfigurationContainer EnableXmlText(this IConfigurationContainer this)
Parameters
IConfigurationContainer this

The configuration container to configure.
Returns
IConfigurationContainer

The configured configuration container.

InspectingType<T>(IConfigurationContainer)

Used to inspect a type for an System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute and if not found, a System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute to establish its identity. If both are found, the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute takes precedence, but if any values there are empty or null, the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute values will be used, instead. Using such an approach, you can use an URI -- either System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute.Namespace or System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute.Namespace -- to specify the type's namespace and the entity's name by using System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute.ElementName or System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute.TypeName) for the that value. If no name value is found on either, the type's name will be used instead.

Declaration
public static IConfigurationContainer InspectingType<T>(this IConfigurationContainer this)
Parameters
IConfigurationContainer this

The configuration container to configure.
Returns
IConfigurationContainer

The configured configuration container.
Type Parameters
T

The subject type to inspect.
See Also

InspectingTypes(IConfigurationContainer, IEnumerable<Type>)

Inspects a collection of types to inspect for their identities. This is done by querying the existence of an System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute on each type, and if not found, a System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute to establish its identity. If both are found, the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute takes precedence, but if any values there are empty or null, the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute values will be used, instead. Using such an approach, you can use an URI -- either System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute.Namespace or System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute.Namespace -- to specify the type's namespace and the entity's name by using System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute.ElementName or System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute.TypeName) for the that value. If no name value is found on either, the type's name will be used instead.

Declaration
public static IConfigurationContainer InspectingTypes(this IConfigurationContainer this, IEnumerable<Type> types)
Parameters
IConfigurationContainer this

The configuration container to configure.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Type> types

The list of types to inspect.
Returns
IConfigurationContainer

The configured configuration container.

Member(XElement, String)

Convenience method to retrieve a member element from a provided System.Xml.Linq.XElement.

Declaration
public static XElement Member(this XElement this, string name)
Parameters
System.Xml.Linq.XElement this

The provided XElement to query.
System.String name

The member name used to query the provided XElement.
Returns
System.Xml.Linq.XElement

The located XElement
