ElementToolSerializer Class

ElementToolSerializer Constructor

This is the name of the XML attribute that stores the moniker of ElementTool in a serialized monikerized instance.

This is the XML tag name used to serialize a monikerized instance of ElementTool.

This is the XML tag name used to serialize an instance of ElementTool.

This method calculates a moniker to a given ElementTool instance.

This method creates an instance of Tool based on the tag currently pointed by the reader. The reader is guaranteed (by the caller) to be pointed at a serialized instance of Tool.

This method creates a Moniker of Tool based on the tag currently pointed by the reader.

A domain class can be monikerized in different ways: standard /qualifier/key mechanism, custom moniker, or element ID. If the domain class is serialized using standard /qualifier/key mechanism, this method returns the qualifier of the moniker; if the domain class uses other ways for monikerization, this method returns empty string.

Public Read() method that deserializes one ElementTool instance from XML.

Read any additional element data associated with the element

This methods deserializes nested XML elements inside the passed-in element.

This method deserializes all properties that are serialized as XML attributes.

Public ReadRootElement() method that deserializes a root-level element from XML. The difference between root-level element and the rest elements in the XML is that the root may carry additional information like schema, version, etc. The default implementation just calls Read() method, it's up to the derived implementations to do any additional checks.

Reset the serializer

This method creates a correct instance of ElementTool based on the tag currently pointed by the reader. If the reader is positioned at a serialized ElementTool, a new ElementTool instance will be created in the given partition, otherwise null is returned.

This method creates a Moniker of the correct derived (including ElementTool itself) instance of ElementTool based on the tag currently pointed by the reader.

Public Write() method that serializes one ElementTool instance into XML.

Public Write() method that serializes the ModelElement instance associated with this serializer instance into XML. This method just calls Write() with no RootElementSettings.

Write any additional element data associated with the element

This methods serializes 1) properties serialized as nested XML elements and 2) child model elements into XML.

Public WriteMoniker() method that writes a monikerized ElementTool instance into XML.

Write all properties that need to be serialized as XML attributes.

Public WriteRootElement() method that serializes a root-level element to XML. The difference between root-level element and the rest elements in the XML is that the root may carry additional information like schema, version, etc. The default implementation just calls Write() method with no RootElementSettings, it's up to the derived implementations to do any additional checks.
