Hi,
I have quite complicated XML strings coming from somewhere else and I need to parse it in C#.
Because of the complexity of XML, I decided to use XmlSerializer after getting an xsd file. But my xml code never seem to work..
here is my myxml.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<cm_borders>
<category name="Cards" id="38">
<subcategory name="4x6_Anniversary" id="Anniversary_4x6" product_schema="4x6_card">
<border id="4x6_anniversary_brownie_l.tif" name="4x6 Anniversary Brownie L" orientation="landscape" width="1800" height="1200" filename="4x6_anniversary_brownie_l.png" transparent_color="ffffff">
<inner_window x="203" y="101" width="671" height="1025" />
<thumb filename="4x6_anniversary_brownie_l_thumb.png" width="180" height="120" />
<medium_thumb filename="4x6_anniversary_brownie_l_med_thumb.png" width="480" height="320" />
<text_list>
<text x="1015" y="671" width="651" height="369" name="">
<property name="max_characters">1000</property>
<property name="min_characters">0</property>
<property name="font_color">ffffffff</property>
<property name="font_face">Arial</property>
<property name="required">false</property>
<property name="font_size">30</property>
<property name="bold">false</property>
<property name="italic">false</property>
<property name="default_text">Some texts.</property>
</text>
</text_list>
</border>
</subcategory>
</category>
</cm_borders>
I created myxml.xsd and myxml.cs, and put them in my solution
Next, here's my XML parsing code in C#:
Stream stream = File.OpenWrite(filePath);
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(cm_borders));
But I keep getting an error which says
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Xml.dll
Additional information: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).
error CS0030: Cannot convert type 'XMLFormatConvertor.xsd.sf_bordersCategorySubcategoryBorderText_listText[]' to 'XMLFormatConvertor.xsd.sf_bordersCategorySubcategoryBorderText_listText'
What should I do to fix this?
If you know any good C# XML deserialize/serialize libraries, please let me know..
