I am having some difficulties figuring out how to correctly structure my classes to mirror the XML that I am attempting to deserialize. Most elements are coming through, but for example, in the XML below the UOMs object is not being deserialized.
Example XML:
<Items xmlns="http://www.manh.com/ILSNET/Interface" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Item>
<Desc>Desc Field Example Value</Desc>
<Item>PE0000009790</Item>
<ItemCategories>
<Action>SAVE</Action>
<Category1>COMPONENT</Category1>
<Category2>Category2ExampleValue</Category2>
</ItemCategories>
<ItemClass>
<Action>SAVE</Action>
<ItemClass>Example ItemClass</ItemClass>
</ItemClass>
<UOMS>
<UOM>
<Action>SAVE</Action>
<ConvQty>1</ConvQty>
<DimensionUm>IN</DimensionUm>
<Height>0.0</Height>
<Length>0.0</Length>
<QtyUm>EA</QtyUm>
<Sequence>1</Sequence>
<Weight>0</Weight>
<WeightUm>LB</WeightUm>
<Width>0.0</Width>
</UOM>
</UOMS>
</Item>
</Items>
I am using basic XML deserialization code, which works well but just providing for background:
using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(Filename, FileMode.Open))
{
this.CreatedObjects = (ItemList)serializer.Deserialize(fileStream);
}
The first class is below:
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "Items", Namespace = "http://www.manh.com/ILSNET/Interface")]
public class ItemList
{
[XmlElement("Item")]
public Item[] Items { get; set; }
}
public class Item
{
[XmlElement("ItemCategories")]
public ItemCategory[] Categories { get; set; }
[XmlElement("ItemClass")]
public ItemClass[] Classes { get; set; }
[XmlElement("UOMS")]
public ItemUOMS UOMs { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Desc")]
public string Description { get; set; }
[XmlElement("Item")]
public string Id { get; set; }
}
The second class, which I am struggling to populate, is below (this class is a member of the Item class shown above:
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "UOMS", Namespace = "http://www.manh.com/ILSNET/Interface")]
public class ItemUOMS
{
[XmlElement("UOM")]
public ItemUOM[] UOM { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "UOM", Namespace = "http://www.manh.com/ILSNET/Interface")]
public class ItemUOM
{
[XmlElement("Action")]
public string Action { get; }
[XmlElement("DimensionUm")]
public string DimensionUnit { get; }
[XmlElement]
public decimal Height { get; }
[XmlElement]
public decimal Length { get; }
[XmlElement("QtyUm")]
public string QtyUnit { get; }
[XmlElement("ConvQty")]
public decimal Quantity { get; }
[XmlElement]
public int Sequence { get; }
[XmlElement]
public decimal Weight { get; }
[XmlElement("WeightUm")]
public string WeightUnit { get; }
[XmlElement]
public decimal Width { get; }
}
Unfortunately, I don't get an error, but instead the UOMs objects are just default objects without any values being set. I tried to reference some XML to C# Class tools online that are supposed to output C# classes for you based on XML provided to the tool, but their classes didn't seem to solve the issue for me either. I attempted to use [XmlArray] / [XmlArrayItem], but neither had any effect either.
If you need any more information from me, please let me know. Thanks for any assistance/guidance you are able to provide in advance.
