Iterate through deserialized xml object_问答_开发者

I have a deserialized xml c# objet. I need to iterate through the oject to display all items, in this case there's just one, and display the name, colors and sizes for each item.

The xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Catalog Name="Example">
  <Items>
    <Item Name="ExampleItem">
      <Colors>
        <Color Name="Black" Value="#000" />
        <Color Name="White" Value="#FFF" />
      </Colors>
      <Sizes>
        <Size Name="Small" Value="10"  />
        <Size Name="Medium" Value="20"  />
      </Sizes>
    </Item>
  </Items>
</Catalog>

xsd.exe generated classes:

        }
    }
}

Deserialization code:

    System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer xSerializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(Catalog));
            TextReader reader = new StreamReader("catalog.xml");
            Catalog catalog = (Catalog)xSerializer.Deserialize(reader);
            foreach (var item in catalog.Items)
            {


            }


   reader.Close();

When I setp through the code there is one item present in catalog.items, but it is empty, no name, colors or sizes.

Any ideas what I need to do?

Thanks

XSD isn't perfect - and in this case, it definitely gets it wrong!

In my case, I had code like this:

public partial class Catalog {
    private CatalogItemsItem[][] itemsField;
    private string nameField;

    /// <remarks/>
    [XmlArray(Form=XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]
    [XmlArrayItem("Item", typeof(CatalogItemsItem), 
     Form=XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, IsNullable=false)]
    public CatalogItemsItem[][] Items {
        get {


......    

public partial class CatalogItemsItem {
    private CatalogItemsItemColorsColor[][] colorsField;
    private CatalogItemsItemSizesSize[][] sizesField;

Those "arrays of arrays" are a typical error you sometimes encounter with XSD. I couldn't even deserialize your test XML !

Once I changed this to just simple one-dimensional arrays, everything works just fine.

public partial class Catalog {
    private CatalogItemsItem[] itemsField;
    private string nameField;

    /// <remarks/>
    [XmlArray(Form=XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]
    [XmlArrayItem("Item", typeof(CatalogItemsItem), 
     Form=XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, IsNullable=false)]
    public CatalogItemsItem[] Items {
        get {


......    

public partial class CatalogItemsItem {
    private CatalogItemsItemColorsColor[] colorsField;
    private CatalogItemsItemSizesSize[] sizesField;

And no, I'm sorry, I don't know of any switch that would allow you to tell XSD to behave like this all the time - it's manual "after-the-generation-cleanup-work" that needs to be done here.

xsd.exe generated incorrect code. Your class is not too hard to do it by hand:

public class Color
{
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Name;

    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Value;
}

public class Size
{
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Name;

    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Value;
}

public class Item
{
    public Color[] Colors;

    public Size[] Sizes;
}

public class Catalog
{
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Name;

    public Item[] Items;
}

If you're not attached to this particular approach and all you need to do is parse xml, I would highly recommend going the LINQ-to-xml route, it has made my life a lot easier.
