XmlSerializer problem with namespace

Question

Hello!

I need to deserialize and serialize this XML.
Unfortunately without success.
Why, who can solve it? Where is the cause?
Target


	
		
			#_DATA_#

Actual state


  
    
      Rü-TEST

: missing xmlns:doc missing and so one. // [XmlRoot(ElementName = "COM_1")] // I use this.

[XmlRoot("doc", Namespace = "urn:biztalk-org:biztalk:biztalk_1")]
public class COM1


  
    
      Rü-TEST

Where does the q1 come from? What is the best way to go for it?

My unsuccessful attempts.

  private void btnReSAP_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
//
//	
//		
//			#_DATA_#
//		
//	
//
            COM1 tstRe = new COM1();
            tstRe.Xmlns = "urn:biztalk-org:biztalk:biztalk_1";
            tstRe.Body = new Body();
            tstRe.Body.ZCOATINGORDER = new ZCOATINGORDER();
            tstRe.Body.ZCOATINGORDER.Xmlns = "urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions";
            tstRe.Body.ZCOATINGORDER.IMBACK = "Rü-TEST";





 using System.Xml.Serialization;
 XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(COM1));
 using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(xml))
 {
    var test = (COM1)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
 }

[XmlRoot(ElementName="Z_COATING_ORDER")]
public class ZCOATINGORDER { 

	[XmlElement(ElementName="IM_BACK")] 
	public string IMBACK { get; set; } 

	[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="doc")] 
	public string Doc { get; set; } 

	[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="xmlns")] 
	public object Xmlns { get; set; } 

	[XmlText] 
	public string Text { get; set; } 
}

[XmlRoot(ElementName="body")]
public class Body { 

	[XmlElement(ElementName="Z_COATING_ORDER")] 
	public ZCOATINGORDER ZCOATINGORDER { get; set; } 
}

[XmlRoot(ElementName="COM_1")]
public class COM1 { 

	[XmlElement(ElementName="body")] 
	public Body Body { get; set; } 

	[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="xmlns")] 
	public string Xmlns { get; set; } 

	[XmlText] 
	public string Text { get; set; } 
}

in xml the namespace is the url. the prefix is an alias (which is random, and has no value). the xml will define the alias:

in your first sample:


	
		
			#_DATA_#

xmlns="urn:biztalk-org:biztalk:biztalk_1" - defines namespace with no prefix. so it the namespace for the node
xmlns:doc="urn:sap-com:doc:sap:rfc:functions" - defines doc as prefix to the namespace. so any node that is prefixed as "doc:" is using this namespace

with prefixes specified and not implied its the same as (biz and doc are arbitrary, any value can be used):


	
		
			#_DATA_#

with your code:

[XmlRoot("doc", Namespace = "urn:biztalk-org:biztalk:biztalk_1")]
public class COM1

you define "doc" as the name of the node, and "urn:biztalk-org:biztalk:biztalk_1" as its namespace name. the serializer makes up the "q1" as the alias.

again the following is semantically the same as specifying the alias:

note: to handle multiple namespaces, the xml serializer aways uses the prefix mode and doesn't count on inhertance. also when paring, you only specify the valid namespace, not the prefix alias
