Answer 1

You are running into a known problem in XmlSerializer Code Generation component: it cannot handle some cases of nested unbounded elements.  The Object Model it creates is not valid: user cannot use it to produce xml messages.

Unfortunately to fix this you have to edit your schema to make sure that all array-like constructs will be handled properly.

 

You would need to slightly modify all schema constructs that have the following:

<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">

  <xs:element ../>

<xs:sequence>

 or

<xs:sequence>

  <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xs:sequence>

 

 

Have to be changed to

 

<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">

  <xs:element ../>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:attribute name="tmp" type="xs:string" />

And

<xs:sequence>

  <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:attribute name="tmp" type="xs:string" />

 

Adding attribute will force XmlSerializer code generator using a class with array member and proper XmlSerialization attributes for the construct instead of an unwrapped array.

Answer 5

Hi all,

Has any further progress been made on this bug ? e.g. a bugfix in xsd.exe, or any cleaner workarounds ?
I came to the same conclusion and added a "dummy" atttribute, and it all started working, but I don't want to see the dummy property in the generated code !!!!

Any help would be most welcome...

Thanks,

Andy

Answer 6

Hi,

Have the same problem but I am in more deep ____, I use a standard - fi2 ( local std in sweden for building std information) so I have problems fideling with the elements. What I do now, will be gone in next release and I have to do it allover again and there are 450+schema elements  used.  Puh...

Any plans for a new release of the XmlSerializer?

Hilsen fra hans
