XML Serializer Does Not Output All Child Elements - c#

I have an excel file. I am taking the first two columns of the file and using the values of those cells to fill the the first two string members of a class. The rest of the string members of this class are initiated and set in the class constructor. This class is called (ColumnsColumn).
I have a second class (called Columns) that has a member that is an array of ColumnsColumn's. This class I am passing as the "object o" parameter in the method XMLSerializer.Selerialize(Stream s, Object o). This method prints an XML to the command line.
The problem, is that it is only printing the first two members of ColumnsColumn (the two I got out of the Excel file).
Here is my Program.cs (main) file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace Excel_Dictionary
{
public class Program
{
public static Columns c = new Columns();
public static List<ColumnsColumn> objects = new List<ColumnsColumn>();
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
#if (DEBUG)
Parser excel = new Parser("stuff.xlsx");
#else
Console.Write("File name: ");
Parser excel = new Parser(Console.ReadLine());
#endif
XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Columns));
List<ColumnsColumn> temp = new List<ColumnsColumn>();
temp = excel.Parse();
c.Items = temp.ToArray();
x.Serialize(Console.Out, c);
Console.ReadLine();
for (int i = 0; i < objects.Count; i++)
{
}
}
}
public class Parser
{
private Excel.Application xlApp;
private Excel.Workbook xlBook;
private Excel.Worksheet xlSheet;
public Parser(string filename)
{
xlApp = new Excel.Application();
xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(filename);
xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets[1];
xlApp.Visible = true;
Start();
}
public List<ColumnsColumn> Parse()
{
List<ColumnsColumn> arr = new List<ColumnsColumn>();
Start();
do
{
ColumnsColumn t = new ColumnsColumn();
t.ColumnType = CellValue();
Move(0, 1);
t.FieldKey = CellValue();
Move(1, -1);
t.EmptyValue = "";
t.FieldParameters = "";
t.TypeKey = "";
t.RelationshipIdentifier = "";
t.Title = "";
t.Section = "";
t.ColumnStyle = "";
t.ShowAggregation = "None";
t.AggregationTotalLevel = "All";
t.WeightedByFieldKey = "";
t.WeightedByFieldParameters = "";
t.CalculateProportion = "False";
t.ProportionTo = "GrandTotal";
t.TotalColumnStyle = "";
t.GroupColumnStyle = "";
t.Show = "True";
arr.Add(t);
} while (CellValue() != "" && CellValue() != null);
return arr;
}
public void Move(int row, int col)
{
xlApp.ActiveCell.get_Offset(row, col).Select();
}
/// <returns>Value of Active Cell</returns>
public string CellValue()
{
return xlApp.ActiveCell.Value2;
}
public void Start()
{
xlSheet.get_Range("A2").Select();
}
}
}
and my XMLSchema file which contains the XML deserialized classes (don't be taken off by it's size, it has A LOT of get set commands):

In your schema definition, try removing all of the
[System.ComponentModel.DefaultValueAttribute("")]
lines. The reason (I believe) why the nodes are not printing is because you are setting the other columns to default values, and so there's no reason for them to get serialized from .NET xmlserializer's "point of view". You know, if a class had a point of view.

Manually populate object generated fom xsd in C#

Sorry, new to all this...
I have an XSD file which I used to create classes in C# using XSD.exe.
The challenge now is trying to figure out how to manually populate the object so I can then serialise to XML (I won't have a source XML file so I need to manually set the properties via an alternate source).
Below is a sample classes generated from the XSD file. I'm able to set the filesummary and debtor information but no idea how to set the debtorcontact information.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FileSummary FileDate="1900-01-01T01:01:01+08:00" OpeningBalance="1" Invoices="1" DebitNotes="1" CreditNotes="1" CashReceipts="1" OtherPositive="1" OtherNegative="1" ClosingBalance="1">

The approach I took was to create a dataset classes using xsd.exe /d.
Once the data set classes were created
I initially populated the data table as follows just to get a better understanding of the data set structure:
NewDataSet newDataSet = new NewDataSet();
newDataSet.ReadXml("FileSummary.xml");

the above code is giving required value with a lot of additional attributes value and the code seems lengthy too. However, I need those 4 value. Please suggest any better solution.
UPDATED (2018-09-10)
I've updated this to get it easy to use.
Before I started, I decided that you probably wanted the possibility of longProps in the HTTPSamplerProxy section. It also made the coding (much) easier and cleaner. I've tested it without any longProps just to make sure it worked with the existing XML the way you'd expect.
The original process
The updates to the original description are italicized
What I did was to use the standard XSD.exe tool to take your source XML file (with an extra longProp in the HTTPSamplerProxy section) and create an XSD. Then I used XSD.exe again to create a (very ugly) C# file. At that point, the root of the whole mess is the TestPlan class. Here's what XSD.exe produced (updated - the only change to the newly-emitted XSD.exe code was a namespace declaration at the top):

The rest of this is mostly new
The code emitted by XSD.exe creates a set of partial classes. I extended the partial classes in a few ways in a separate source file. But, before I started, I declared an interface and a static worker class.
public interface IGrouping {
boolProp[] boolProp { get; }
stringProp[] stringProp { get; }
longProp[] longProp { get; }
Dictionary<string, bool?> BoolProperties { get; }
Dictionary<string, long?> LongProperties { get; }
Dictionary<string, string> StringProperties { get; }
}
and
public static class PropertyGrouper {
public static void GroupProperties(IGrouping itemToGroup) {
//has this been done before, if yes, return
if (itemToGroup.StringProperties.Count > 0 || itemToGroup.BoolProperties.Count > 0 || itemToGroup.LongProperties.Count > 0 ) {
return;
}
//otherwise
if (itemToGroup.boolProp != null) {
foreach (var bProp in itemToGroup.boolProp) {
var succeeded = bool.TryParse(bProp.Value, out var bValue);
itemToGroup.BoolProperties.Add(bProp.name, succeeded ? bValue : (bool?)null);
}
}
if (itemToGroup.longProp != null) {
foreach (var lProp in itemToGroup.longProp) {
var succeeded = long.TryParse(lProp.Value, out var lValue);
itemToGroup.LongProperties.Add(lProp.name, succeeded ? lValue : (long?)null);
}
}
if (itemToGroup.stringProp != null) {
foreach (var sProp in itemToGroup.stringProp) {
itemToGroup.StringProperties.Add(sProp.name, sProp.Value);
}
}
}
}
With those in place, I extended each of the XSD.exe-emitted classes. The TestPlan class was easy - I just added a typed property:
public partial class TestPlan {
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTree HashTree => Items[0] as hashTree;
}
The hashTreeThreadGroup and hashTreeHTTPSamplerProxy classes were extended in the same way (remember, I didn't name any of these classes, XSD.exe named them from your XML) . Each was declared to implement the IGrouping interface, and each got 3 dictionaries of properties (as required by IGrouping). The three arrays in the IGrouping interface were in the XSD-emitted code:
public partial class hashTreeThreadGroup : IGrouping {
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, bool?> BoolProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, bool?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, long?> LongProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, long?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, string> StringProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, string>();
}
public partial class hashTreeHTTPSamplerProxy : IGrouping {
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, bool?> BoolProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, bool?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, long?> LongProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, long?>();
[XmlIgnore]
public Dictionary<string, string> StringProperties { get; } = new Dictionary<string, string>();
}
Finally, I extended hashTree class. I added three typed properties, each with a null check to make things clean. The ThreadGroupItem and HttpSamplerProxyItem properties each get a call to PropertyGrouper.GroupProperties. The first time this is called, the properties in the XmlSerializer-created property arrays are copied into Dictionaries.
public partial class hashTree {
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTree HashTree {
get {
if (hashTree1 != null) {
return hashTree1[0] as hashTree;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTreeThreadGroup ThreadGroupItem {
get {
if (ThreadGroup != null) {
var threadGroup = ThreadGroup[0]; // as hashTreeThreadGroup;
PropertyGrouper.GroupProperties(threadGroup);
return threadGroup;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
[XmlIgnore]
public hashTreeHTTPSamplerProxy HttpSamplerProxyItem {
get {
if (HTTPSamplerProxy != null) {
var httpSamplerProxy = HTTPSamplerProxy[0];
PropertyGrouper.GroupProperties(httpSamplerProxy);
return httpSamplerProxy;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
}
With that all in place, I ran the same code.
TestPlan result;
using (var stream = new FileStream("source.xml", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) {
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(TestPlan));
result = (TestPlan)serializer.Deserialize(stream);
}
This code is how I accessed your data with my first example.
var numThreadsParsed = long.TryParse((((XmlSerializeForm.hashTree)result.Items[0]).hashTree1[0].ThreadGroup[0].stringProp[1].Value), out var numThreads);
var httpSamplerPath = ((XmlSerializeForm.hashTree)result.Items[0]).hashTree1[0].hashTree1[0].hashTree1[0].HTTPSamplerProxy[0].stringProp[4].Value;
But, with the few simple additions I made (well, the code isn't that complicated, but getting it right was), accessing the properties is much cleaner:
string numThreadsParsed = result.HashTree.HashTree.ThreadGroupItem.StringProperties["ThreadGroup.num_threads"];
long? startTime = result.HashTree.HashTree.ThreadGroupItem.LongProperties["ThreadGroup.start_time"];
string httpSamplerPath = result.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HttpSamplerProxyItem.StringProperties["HTTPSampler.path"];
bool? useKeepAlive = result.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HashTree.HttpSamplerProxyItem.BoolProperties["HTTPSampler.use_keepalive"];
There you go!
With external lib Cinchoo ETL - an open source library, you can grab the chosen node values easily as below
Define .NET type
public class TestPlan
{
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/ThreadGroup/stringProp[#name=""ThreadGroup.on_sample_error""]")]
public string NumThreads { get; set; }
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/ThreadGroup/stringProp[#name=""ThreadGroup.ramp_time""]")]
public int RampTime { get; set; }
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/hashTree/hashTree/HTTPSamplerProxy/stringProp[#name=""HTTPSampler.path""]")]
public string Path { get; set; }
[ChoXmlNodeRecordField(XPath = #"/hashTree/hashTree/HTTPSamplerProxy/stringProp[#name=""HTTPSampler.domain""]")]
public string Domain { get; set; }
}
Then deserialize the input xml using Cinchoo ETL as below
static void Main()
{
using (var p = new ChoXmlReader<TestPlan>("*** XML file path ***")
.WithXPath("/TestPlan/hashTree/hashTree")
)
{
foreach (var rec in p)
Console.WriteLine(rec.Dump());
}
}
Output:
-- ChoXmlReaderTest.Program+TestPlan State --
NumThreads: continue
RampTime: 1
Path: /v1/test/test?debug=false
Domain: www.abc.com/abc-service-api
Hope it helps.

Creating a model class for XML

How to create a model class for the below xml.

I want set all five different object to another object like this:
private Adress FindAddresses(Carrier address)
{
tempAddress = new Address();
tempAddress.AddressCode = address.Code;
tempAddress.Name1 = address.LegalName;
tempAddress.Name2 = address.Address;
tempAddress.Name3 = address.Address2;
return tempAddress;
}
Is the only way to do this to overload this function 5 times or gives an "better" way to do this ?
You could let the classes implement the same interface, for example IAdressable:
public interface IAddressable
{
public AddressCode Code { get; set; }
public string LegalName { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string Address2 { get; set; }
}
Now the method could take an IAddressable as argument:
private Adress FindAddresses(IAddressable address)
{
var tempAddress = new Address();
tempAddress.AddressCode = address.Code;
tempAddress.Name1 = address.LegalName;
tempAddress.Name2 = address.Address;
tempAddress.Name3 = address.Address2;
return tempAddress;
}
Then you can call this method with all your classes since they all implement that interface.
You could try to move the common properties into a common base class and derive Carrier and the 4 other classes from that base class.
The methods would then take an instance of the base class.
public class BaseAddressClass
{
...
}
public class Carrier : BaseAddressClass
{
// Other fields
}
private Address FindAddress(BaseAddressClass address)
{
...
}

Adding information to an array within a class

I have converted some xml into classes using xsd and now I am having an issue getting some data into the array that exists in the class to add a list of items. I am trying to get the info into OrderItemsItem.
A bit stumped, any help appreciated (not really keen on making any changes to the classes if I can get away with it, convert to List<> etc) .
This is the code to add the info:
OrderItemsItem orderItemsItem = new OrderItemsItem();
orderItemsItem.CostCentre = "sfsdf";
orderItemsItem.DeliveryDate = "2014-01-05";
orderItemsItem.Fund = "G";
orderItemsItem.ExternalLineRef = "1";
orderItemsItem.ItemName = "dfss";
orderItemsItem.LineNo = "1";
orderItemsItem.ProdId = "dfsf";
orderItemsItem.Project = "";
orderItemsItem.QuantityOrdered = "2";
orderItemsItem.UnitCost = "10";
Order order = new Order();
OrderItemsItem [] items = {orderItemsItem};
order.Items.Item = items;
The Error I am receiving is happening on -> order.Items.Item = items;:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object.
This is the Class:

Thank you
order.Items.Item = items
The error must be that some order among your orders have its Items collection null (and thus making it not possible to access its "Item" property).
My suspicion is that in your example order.Items is null - you will need to attach a debugger and examine the variables yourself to determine the root cause of your null ref. Ensure that the array is not null before working with it.
in your example you're overriding an element of an array. This will either replace the existing element (if it exists) or (I believe) throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException if it doesn't.
Arrays are generally for fixed lengths of data, ones which you don't append/remove data from frequently. Lists are a better collection to use as they have Add() and Remove() functions for specifically this reason.
It is possible to "append" to C# arrays
order.Items = Order.Items.Union(new Item[]{myNewItem}));
However it's not very nice and creates a new array by merging the old ones! My advice... make the collection a list!
