Hi all,
I have 2 methods which could serialise an object to xml or object to file
public static string ConvertObjectToXML(object myObject)
{
string retVal = null;
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(ms))
{
using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(writer, new XmlWriterSettings { Indent = false, Encoding = Encoding.UTF8 }))
{
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(myObject.GetType());
XmlSerializerNamespaces namespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
namespaces.Add(string.Empty, string.Empty);
xs.Serialize(xmlWriter, myObject, namespaces);
}
// Set memory stream to 0 *read from beginning*
ms.Position = 0;
retVal = new StreamReader(ms).ReadToEnd();
}
}
return retVal;
}
public static void ConvertObjectToFile(string filePath, object myObject)
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filePath))
{
using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(writer, new XmlWriterSettings { Indent = false, Encoding = Encoding.UTF8 }))
{
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(myObject.GetType());
XmlSerializerNamespaces namespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
namespaces.Add(string.Empty, string.Empty);
xs.Serialize(xmlWriter, myObject, namespaces);
}
}
}
when i serialise object to xml this is the output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
