オブジェクトのすべてのプロパティを提供しなかったので、例としていくつか追加させてください。
public class BaseContent
{
[XmlAttribute("Name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
[XmlType(TypeName = "EventObject")]
public class Event : BaseContent
{
[XmlAttribute("EventId")]
public int EventId { get; set; }
}
[XmlType(TypeName = "NewsObject")]
public class News : BaseContent
{
[XmlAttribute("NewsId")]
public int NewsId { get; set; }
}
GenericResponse.csは、次のように定義できます。配列項目のtypeofを指定する必要はありません。
public class GenericResponse<T>
{
[XmlArray("Content")]
public List<T> ContentItems { get; set; }
public GenericResponse()
{
this.ContentItems = new List<T>();
}
}
そして、応答クラスがあります。
public class EventResponse : GenericResponse<Event>
{
}
public class NewsResponse : GenericResponse<News>
{
}
例1：EventResponseオブジェクトをシリアル化する
var response = new EventResponse
{
ContentItems = new List<Event>
{
new Event {
EventId = 1,
Name = "Event 1"
},
new Event {
EventId = 2,
Name = "Event 2"
}
}
};
string xml = XmlSerializer<EventResponse>.Serialize(response);
出力XML：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EventResponse xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Content>
<EventObject Name="Event 1" EventId="1" />
<EventObject Name="Event 2" EventId="2" />
</Content>
</EventResponse>
NewsResponseで同じことを試してみると、問題なく動作します。ところで、私は一般的なXmlSerializerを使用しています。リンクをクリックして、詳細を確認してください。
