How can I Serialize and Deserialize an Xml ?

Question

Hello msdn,

How can I serialize and deserialise a class object in the following format?

<ViewModels>
  <ViewModel Name="OrderCustomerViewModel" Type="Grid">
    <Property Name="OrderId" Type="int32" Nullable="False" EditorType="TextBox"/>
    <Property Name="ShippedDate" Type="DateTime" Nullable="True" EditorType="TextBox"/>/>
    <Property Name="ShipName" Type="string" Nullable="True" EditorType="TextBox"/>/>
    <Property Name="CustomerCity" Type="string" Nullable="True"/>
    <Property Name="CustomerContactName" Type="string" Nullable="True"/>
  </ViewModel>
  <ViewModel Name="OrderViewModel" Type="Grid">
    <Property Name="OrderId" Type="int32" Nullable="False" EditorType="TextBox"/>
    <Property Name="ShippedDate" Type="DateTime" Nullable="True" EditorType="TextBox"/>/>
    <Property Name="ShipName" Type="string" Nullable="True" EditorType="TextBox"/>/>
  </ViewModel>
</ViewModels>

Could any one give me a sample application for this?

Hi try this code,

    public class OrderCustomerViewModel
    {
        public int OrderId;
        public DateTime ShippedDate;
        public string ShipName;
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            OrderCustomerViewModel objorder = new OrderCustomerViewModel()
            {
                OrderId = 1,
                ShippedDate = DateTime.Now,
                ShipName = "Test"
            };
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(objorder.GetType());
            StringWriter Writer = new StringWriter();
            xmlSerializer.Serialize(Writer, objorder);

            Console.WriteLine(Writer.ToString());
            StringReader strReader = new StringReader(Writer.ToString());
            XmlSerializer xmlDeSerializer = new XmlSerializer(objorder.GetType());

            XmlTextReader XmlReader = new XmlTextReader(strReader);
            Object AnObject = xmlDeSerializer.Deserialize(XmlReader);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
       
    }

Hi I dint get your requirement?

Do you need to accept nulls? if that is the problem ,use DateTime?

   public class OrderCustomerViewModel
    {
        public int OrderId;
        public DateTime? ShippedDate;
        public string ShipName;
    }
