Examples

The following example serializes two classes named Food and FoodType. The FoodType class contains two enumerations that are overridden and, for each enumeration, the example creates an XmlEnumAttribute object that is assigned to the XmlEnum property of an XmlAttributes object. The example then adds the XmlAttributes object to an XmlAttributeOverrides object, which is used to create an XmlSerializer.

   // Subsequent code overrides these enumerations.
   Low, High

// This is the class that will be serialized.
public ref class Food
{
public:
   FoodType Type;
};

// Return an XmlSerializer used for overriding. 
XmlSerializer^ CreateOverrider()
{
   // Create the XmlOverrides and XmlAttributes objects.
   XmlAttributeOverrides^ xOver = gcnew XmlAttributeOverrides;
   XmlAttributes^ xAttrs = gcnew XmlAttributes;

   // Add an XmlEnumAttribute for the FoodType.Low enumeration.

   xEnum->Name = "Cold";
   xAttrs->XmlEnum = xEnum;
   xOver->Add( FoodType::typeid, "Low", xAttrs );

   // Add an XmlEnumAttribute for the FoodType.High enumeration.
   xAttrs = gcnew XmlAttributes;
   xEnum = gcnew XmlEnumAttribute;

Remarks

You can use the XmlEnumAttribute to override an existing enumeration.

Parameters

Examples

The following example applies the XmlEnumAttribute to the members of an enumeration. When the XmlSerializer generates XML data for this enumeration, the data conforms to the values of the Name properties.

public enum class EmployeeStatus
{
   [XmlEnum("Single")]
   One,
   [XmlEnum("Double")]
   Two,
   [XmlEnum("Triple")]
   Three
};

public enum EmployeeStatus
{
   [XmlEnum("Single")]
   One,
   [XmlEnum("Double")]
   Two,
   [XmlEnum("Triple")]
   Three
}

Public Enum EmployeeStatus
   <XmlEnumAttribute("Single")> One
   <XmlEnumAttribute("Double")> Two
   <XmlEnumAttribute("Triple")> Three
End Enum
