I have 1 string xml, I want to convert it to class C#, what should I do?

how to convert list obj to client.PostAsJsonAsync
My xml
<ListCustomer xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="tns:Chapter[1]">
<item xsi:type="tns:Chapter">
<custname xsi:type="xsd:string">sakutara</custname>
<gender xsi:type="xsd:string">nam</gender>
<dob xsi:type="xsd:string">21/06/1991</dob>
</item>
</ListCustomer>
My class model
public class item
{
public string custname { get; set; }
public string gender { get; set; }
public string dob { get; set; }
}
public class ListCustomer
{
public List<item> item { get; set; }
}
help me please ??

You are missing namespace so I modified the xml
<Soap xmlns:xsi="MyUrl" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="MyUrl">
<ListCustomer xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="tns:Chapter[1]">
<item xsi:type="tns:Chapter">
<custname xsi:type="xsd:string">sakutara</custname>
<gender xsi:type="xsd:string">nam</gender>
<dob xsi:type="xsd:string">21/06/1991</dob>
</item>
</ListCustomer>
</Soap>
Then I used following code :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
const string FILENANE = #"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(FILENANE);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Soap));
Soap soap = (Soap)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}
public class item
{
public string custname { get; set; }
public string gender { get; set; }
public string dob { get; set; }
}
public class ListCustomer
{
[XmlElement("item")]
public List<item> item { get; set; }
}
public class Soap
{
public ListCustomer ListCustomer { get; set; }
}
}

Not sure how to access nested XML in C#

I'm attempting to deserialize an XML file into corresponding C# objects. I've read through the other answers and I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.
Here's my XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DialogueObjectCollection>
<DialogueObjects>
<DialogueObject id="0001">
<name>CHARACTER</name>
<dialogue>
<text tag="1">Hi, this is a message.</text>
<text tag="2">Yup.</text>
<text tag="3">What do you want to do?
<options>
<option action= "1">Go back.</option>
<option action="4">Tell me something new.</option>
</options>
</text>
<text tag= "4">This is the end.</text>
</dialogue>
</DialogueObject>
<DialogueObject id="0002">
<name>CHARACTER2</name>
<dialogue>
<text tag="1">Hi.</text>
</dialogue>
</DialogueObject>
</DialogueObjects>
</DialogueObjectCollection>
Here are my classes:
{
[Serializable(), XmlRoot("DialogueObject")]
public class DialogueObject
{
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string id { get; set; }
[XmlElement("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("tag")]
public int tag { get; set; }
public OptionHolder option;
public DialogueHolder dialogueHolder { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("action")]
public string action { get; set; }
}
[Serializable(), XmlRoot("dialogue")]
public class DialogueHolder
{
[XmlArray("dialogue")]
[XmlArrayItem("text", IsNullable = false)]
public TextItem[] dialogue { get; set; }
}
[Serializable(),XmlRoot("text")]
public class TextItem
{
[XmlAttribute]
public string tag { get; set; }
public string text { get; set; }
}
[Serializable(),XmlRoot("option")]
public class OptionHolder
{
[XmlAttribute]
public string action;
[XmlElement("option")]
public string option;
}
[Serializable()]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRoot("DialogueObjectCollection")]
public class DialogueObjectCollection
{
[XmlArray("DialogueObjects")]
[XmlArrayItem("DialogueObject", typeof(DialogueObject))]
public DialogueObject[] dialogueObject { get; set; }
}
And my method:
public static void LoadDialogue()
{
DialogueObjectCollection dialogueCollection = null;
string path = "Content/NPCdata.xml";
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DialogueObjectCollection));
Console.WriteLine("LOADDINGGGG");
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(path);
dialogueCollection = (DialogueObjectCollection)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
//test print Console.WriteLine(dialogueCollection.dialogueObject.First().dialogueHolder.dialogue.First().text);
}
So, it's telling me that dialogueHolder is returning null. I can get the dialogueObject.First().name and id to print. I can't figure out why the dialogue text isn't loading into it. (My attempts at fixing it included adding the XmlRootNode attributes and adding more classes-- I'm new to XML serialization in C#)
Thanks for any help!

try code below :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = #"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
LoadDialogue(FILENAME);
}
public static void LoadDialogue(string path)
{
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(path);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DialogueObjectCollection));
DialogueObjectCollection dialogueObjectCollection = (DialogueObjectCollection)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}
[Serializable(), XmlRoot("DialogueObject")]
public class DialogueObject
{
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string id { get; set; }
[XmlElement("name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("tag")]
public int tag { get; set; }
public OptionHolder option;
[XmlElement("dialogue")]
public DialogueHolder dialogueHolder { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("action")]
public string action { get; set; }
}
[Serializable(), XmlRoot("dialogue")]
public class DialogueHolder
{
[XmlElement("text")]
public TextItem[] texItem { get; set; }
}
[Serializable(), XmlRoot("text")]
public class TextItem
{
[XmlAttribute]
public string tag { get; set; }
[XmlText()]
public string text { get; set; }
[XmlArray("options")]
[XmlArrayItem("option")]
public OptionHolder[] options { get; set; }
}
[Serializable(), XmlRoot("option")]
public class OptionHolder
{
[XmlAttribute]
public string action;
[XmlElement("option")]
public string option;
}
[XmlRoot("DialogueObjectCollection")]
public class DialogueObjectCollection
{
[XmlArray("DialogueObjects")]
[XmlArrayItem ("DialogueObject")]
public DialogueObject[] dialogueObject { get; set; }
}
}

Deserialization of Arrays in XML response

I'm still struggling with deserialization of XML containing arrays of items.
The response I want to deserialize:
<ns1:OperationResult xmlns:ns1="http://xxxx.com">
<done>false</done>
<errorEntities>
<elements>
<entityID>100014</entityID>
<entityType>GROUP</entityType>
<errors>
<errorCode>INVALID_DATA</errorCode>
<errorMessage>s: d3f62887-a2a3-4cde-8f8b-09812a7bd011ed8d385e-f4c4-4fae-9a4b-1ba405db54b6-MessageTemplate:{k2.constraints.numberFormat.length}|length:5|; </errorMessage>
</errors>
</elements>
</errorEntities>
</ns1:OperationResult>
And this is my corresponding class:
[XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "http://xxxx.", IsNullable = false, ElementName = "OperationResult")]
public class GroupCreateUpdateResult
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "done")]
public string done { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errorEntities")]
public ErrorEntities errorEntities { get; set; }
public bool hasErrors => done == "true" ? true : false;
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "errorEntities")]
public class ErrorEntities
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "elements")]
public List<ErrorElements> elements { get; } = new List<ErrorElements>();
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "elements")]
public class ErrorElements
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "entityId")]
public string entityId { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "entityType")]
public string entityType { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errors")]
Errors errors { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "errors")]
public class Errors
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errorCode")]
public string errorCode { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errorMessage")]
public string errorMessage { get; set; }
}
I have already a method deserializing my responses. Actually I am struggling with this specific one. Alle others without arrays are working fine.
What I finally get is this:
Any advice is highly appreciated.

You have a few issues
1) The namespace in the xml and the classes have to be the same
2) The tags names in the classes are case sensitive so you have to make sure the spelling is correct (Upper/Lower Case)
3) The class object have to be public otherwise the tags are ignored.
4) Where there are no namespaces in XML (and parent has a namespace) you need the empty string for the namespaces
See corrected code below
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = #"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(FILENAME);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(GroupCreateUpdateResult));
GroupCreateUpdateResult group = (GroupCreateUpdateResult)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}
[XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "http://com.f24.soap.fwi.schema", IsNullable = false, ElementName = "OperationResult")]
public class GroupCreateUpdateResult
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "done", Namespace = "")]
public string done { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errorEntities", Namespace = "")]
public ErrorEntities errorEntities { get; set; }
//public bool hasErrors => done == "true" ? true : false;
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "errorEntities")]
public class ErrorEntities
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "elements", Namespace = "")]
public List<ErrorElements> elements { get; set;}
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "elements")]
public class ErrorElements
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "entityID")]
public string entityId { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "entityType")]
public string entityType { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errors", Namespace = "")]
public Errors errors { get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "errors")]
public class Errors
{
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errorCode")]
public string errorCode { get; set; }
[XmlElement(ElementName = "errorMessage")]
public string errorMessage { get; set; }
}
}

Issues Deserializing Xml in C#

I'm following the tutorial given here for deserializing an embedded xml document.
My Xml doc:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ArrayOfAgency xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<DbAgencyDefinition>
<Name>RTD</Name>
<Country>USA</Country>
<City>Denver</City>
<State>CO</State>
<GtfsZipUrlDirectory>http://www.address.com/etc/</GtfsZipUrlDirectory>
<GtfsZipUrlFileName>file_name.zip</GtfsZipUrlFileName>
</DbAgencyDefinition>
</ArrayOfAgency>
My class I'm deserializing to:
public class DbAgencyDefinition
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string GtfsZipUrlDirectory { get; set; }
public string GtfsZipUrlFileName { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
}
The code that's trying to deserialize the XML to a list of DbAgencyDefinition:
var assembly = IntrospectionExtensions.GetTypeInfo(typeof(DbAgencyDefinition)).Assembly;
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MyNamespace.Resources.xml.AgencyDefinitions.xml");
var agencies = new List<DbAgencyDefinition>();
using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<DbAgencyDefinition>));
agencies = (List<DbAgencyDefinition>)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
The error I'm getting is:
System.Exception: There is an error in XML document. <ArrayOfAgency xmlns=''> was not expected
I've tried a million things with the XML, marking the class as Serializable, and it always returns this error. I looked at the code samples that the tutorial gives and I can't figure out why I'm getting this error.

VS for Windows, and maybe on Mac as well, has a special tool that will convert copied Xml into autogenerated classes. Now, it's not perfect but if you take your Xml file it generates a couple of classes similar to this:
public class ArrayOfAgency
{
public ArrayOfAgencyDbAgencyDefinition DbAgencyDefinition { get; set; }
}
public class ArrayOfAgencyDbAgencyDefinition
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string GtfsZipUrlDirectory { get; set; }
public string GtfsZipUrlFileName { get; set; }
}
As you might notice ArrayOfAgency is determined as a class holding a DbAgencyDefinition, which is why it's throwing an error while trying to deserialize it directly into a List<DbAgencyDefinition>. The type and what the serializer is expecting are not quite the same.
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ArrayOfAgency));
var agencies = ((ArrayOfAgency)serializer.Deserialize(reader)).DbAgencyDefinition;
Also, as I mentioned the auto-generation may not be perfect because ArrayOfAgency may need to hold an array instead of a direct class if there can be more than one DbAgencyDefinition possible in Xml.
public class ArrayOfAgency
{
public ArrayOfAgencyDbAgencyDefinition[] DbAgencyDefinition { get; set; }
}
If you need more help or info on Xml Serialization check out the docs.

Try following :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication120
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = #"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(FILENAME, Encoding.UTF8))
{
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ArrayOfAgency));
ArrayOfAgency agencies = (ArrayOfAgency)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
}
}
public class ArrayOfAgency
{
public DbAgencyDefinition DbAgencyDefinition { get; set; }
}
public class DbAgencyDefinition
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string GtfsZipUrlDirectory { get; set; }
public string GtfsZipUrlFileName { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
}
}

Write List<object> to XML file with elements and attribute

I have the following class:
[XmlType("supervisor")]
public class Supervisor
{
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string Id { set; get; }
[XmlElement("Name")]
public string Name { set; get; }
[XmlElement("Contract")]
public int Contracts { set; get; }
[XmlElement("Volume")]
public long Volume { set; get; }
[XmlElement("Average")]
public int Average { set; get; }
}
which reads from XML file:
<digital-sales xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<supervisor id="1236674">
<Name>Hiroki</Name>
<Contract>11</Contract>
<Volume>1036253</Volume>
<Average>94205</Average>
</supervisor>
<supervisor id="123459">
<Name>Ayumi</Name>
<Contract>5</Contract>
<Volume>626038</Volume>
<Average>125208</Average>
</supervisor> ...
</digital-sales>
in the code I create List and process it.
now I want to write the List to XML file while maintaining the
same XML structure. How do I do that?
