The error here is in the Serialize
method that you don't show. Your Deserialize
method works without error. The following Serialize
method works fine:
static string Serialize(SomeType[] values)
{
using (var sw = new StringWriter())
{
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SomeType[]));
serializer.Serialize(sw, values);
return sw.ToString();
}
}
If I had to guess, you have the following:
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SomeType));
If you want the exact same output without unnecessary namespace alias declarations, change the method to include:
XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
ns.Add("","");
serializer.Serialize(sw, values, ns);
Edit showing the current code working fine:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
public class SomeType
{
public string Field1 { get; set; }
public string Field2 { get; set; }
public string Field3 { get; set; }
}
public class MyTest
{
public static SomeType[] Deserialize(string xml)
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SomeType[]));
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(xml);
SomeType[] types = (SomeType[])serializer.Deserialize(stringReader);
stringReader.Close();
return types;
}
public static void Main()
{
string xml = @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
<ArrayOfSomeType>
<SomeType>
<Field1>val</Field1>
<Field2>val</Field2>
<Field3>val</Field3>
</SomeType>
</ArrayOfSomeType>";
var items = Deserialize(xml);
foreach (var item in items)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}",
item.Field1, item.Field2, item.Field3);
}
}
}
