XML Deserialization issue with Array element
In order to specify the XML element names of an array (IList, ICollection, etc.) and it's items, you have to use the attributes XmlArray and XmlArrayItem:
[Serializable, XmlRoot("person")]public class FooUserProfile{ /* The other members... */ [XmlArray("positions")] [XmlArrayItem("position")] public List<FooPosition> Positions { get; set; }}The attribute XmlElement has the effect that the surrounding XML array element will be omitted and give the Xml array items it's names:
[XmlRoot("Config")]public class Foo{ [XmlElement("Id")] public string[] IdStringArrayWithStupidName;}Serialized XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="?><Config> <Id></Id> <Id></Id></Config>
