Controls the XML schema that is generated when the attribute target is serialized by the XmlSerializer.
public ref class XmlTypeAttribute : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Interface | System.AttributeTargets.Struct)]
public class XmlTypeAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Interface | System.AttributeTargets.Struct)>]
type XmlTypeAttribute = class
inherit Attribute
Public Class XmlTypeAttribute
Inherits Attribute
The following example shows two classes to which the XmlTypeAttribute has been applied.
[XmlType(Namespace = "http://www.cpandl.com",
TypeName = "GroupMember")]
public class Person
{
public string Name;
}
[XmlType(Namespace = "http://www.cohowinery.com",
TypeName = "GroupAddress")]
public class Address
{
public string Line1;
public string Line2;
public string City;
public string State;
public string Zip;
}
public class Group
{
public Person[] Staff;
public Person Manager;
public Address Location;
}
<XmlType(Namespace := "http://www.cpandl.com", _
TypeName := "GroupMember")> _
Public Class Person
Public Name As String
End Class
<XmlType(Namespace := "http://www.cohowinery.com", _
TypeName := "GroupAddress")> _
Public Class Address
Public Line1 As String
Public Line2 As String
Public City As String
Public State As String
Public Zip As String
End Class
Public Class Group
Public Staff() As Person
Public Manager As Person
Public Location As Address
End Class
The XmlTypeAttribute belongs to a family of attributes that controls how the XmlSerializer serializes or deserializes an object. For a complete list of similar attributes, see Attributes That Control XML Serialization.
You can apply the XmlTypeAttribute to a class, structure, enumeration, or interface declaration.
Apply the XmlTypeAttribute to a class to specify the XML type's namespace, the XML type name, and whether to include the type in the XML schema document. To see the results of setting the properties of the XmlTypeAttribute class, compile your application as an executable or DLL, and pass the resulting file to the XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe). The tool writes the schema, including the type definition.
For more information about using attributes, see Attributes.
Note
You can use the word XmlType
in your code instead of the longer XmlTypeAttribute.
Gets or sets a value that determines whether the resulting schema type is an XSD anonymous type.
IncludeInSchemaGets or sets a value that indicates whether to include the type in XML schema documents.
NamespaceGets or sets the namespace of the XML type.
TypeIdWhen implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.
(Inherited from Attribute) TypeNameGets or sets the name of the XML type.
Methods Explicit Interface Implementations _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.
(Inherited from Attribute) _Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.
(Inherited from Attribute) _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).
(Inherited from Attribute) _Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.
