XML serialization of a list with attributes
You need to make another class which represents the type element. Then you can add properties to it for the attributes, like this:
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "embellishments", IsNullable = false)]public class EmbellishmentGroup{ [XmlElement("type")] public MyType Type { get; set; } public EmbellishmentGroup() { Type = new MyType(); }}public class MyType{ [XmlAttribute("id")] public int Id { get; set; } [XmlAttribute("name")] public string Name { get; set; } [XmlElement("row")] public List<Product> List { get; set; } public MyType() { Id = 1; Name = "bar bar foo"; List = new List<Product>(); Product p = new Product(); p.Id = 1; p.Name = "foo bar"; p.Cost = 10m; List.Add(p); }}public class Product{ [XmlElement( "id" )] public int Id { get; set; } [XmlElement( "name" )] public string Name { get; set; } [XmlElement( "cost" )] public decimal Cost { get; set; }}
