Name

XmlElementAttribute — System.Xml.Serialization (system.xml.dll) CF 1.0  class 

Synopsis

public class XmlElementAttribute : Attribute {
// Public Constructors
   public XmlElementAttribute( );  
   public XmlElementAttribute( string elementName);  
   public XmlElementAttribute( string elementName, Type type);  
   public XmlElementAttribute( Type type);  
// Public Instance Properties
   public string DataType{set; get; } 
   public string ElementName{set; get; } 
   public XmlSchemaForm Form{set; get; } 
   public bool IsNullable{set; get; } 
   public string Namespace{set; get; } 
   public Type Type{set; get; } 
}

This attribute indicates that the member to which it is applied should be serialized as an XML element. The ElementName property indicates the name of the element, the DataType property holds the XML Schema datatype of the element, and the Form property holds the System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm of the element name. If the member returns a System.Collections.ArrayList, the Type property holds the System.Type of the object to be added to the member; several XmlElementAttributes may be applied to the member in such a case. An element may additionally have its IsNullable property set to true to set the xsi:nil attribute to true, and the Namespace property can be used to set the element’s namespace.
