Re: Serialize/DeSerialize Generics List

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

AFAIK, the way that the deserialize operation of XML Arrays works is
that it constructs an array object (not a List<>) from scratch and
assigns it - meanwhile deserialization requires only an IEnumerable.
Your List<> works fine for deserializing since it's an IEnumerable, bu
not the other way because it's not an Array.

I might be wrong about this - but that's just he behaviour I'm
observing. Perhaps providing a public Array-based property that is
converted to-and-from your hidden List property (converting from lists
to arrays and vice versa is pretty simple) - then just serialize your
Array.

Hi

I have a Generics List in a PropertyGrid

I am able to Serialize it to XML but when I try to deserialize back to the
class of the PropertyGrid
The Constructor doesn't seem to fire to reload the saved settings

Can anyone see something that I have missed ?

Class of values
----------------
[XmlRoot("ValueString")]

public class ValueString

{

private string upper = "uppervalue";

private string lower = "lowervalue";

public ValueString()

{

}

public ValueString(string sUpper, string sLower)

{

upper = sUpper

lower = sLower;

}

[XmlElement("Upper")]

public string Upper

{

get { return upper; }

set { upper = value; }

}

[XmlElement("Lower")]

public string Lower

{

get { return lower; }

set { lower = value; }

}

}



PropertGrid Class

----------------

private List<ValueString> myValues = new List<ValueString>();

myValues.Add("upper1","lower1");

myValues.Add("upper2","lower2");



[Category("Misc")]

[Browsable(false)]

[XmlArrayItem("ValArray")]

public List<ValueString> ValuesStr

{

get

{

return myValues

}

set

{

myValues = value;


}

}





xml serialized from Class

-----



<ValuesStr>
<ValArray>
<Upper>upper1</Upper>
<Lower>lower1</Lower>
</ValArray>
<ValArray>
<Upper>upper2</Upper>
<Lower>lower2</Lower>
</ValArray>
</ValuesStr>
