Programmatically controlling the order of xml elements

Programmatically controlling the order of xml elements - c#

I'm using a third part web service[WS] in my .Net app.
My application is using the entity classes generated from this WS's wsdl.
I fetch the data from db, fill it in entity objects and then generate an xml out of it using XmlSerializer class.
One of the methods of the WS requires this xml string as input.And the xml should have elements in the same order as expected by the WS.But whats happening is that some of the elements are getting upside down in my app and so WS is throwing an innermost exception saying on serialzation:.
_innerException {"Inconsistent sequencing: if used on one of the class's members, the 'Order' property is required on all particle-like members, please explicitly set 'Order' using XmlElement, XmlAnyElement or XmlArray custom attribute on class member 'instrument'."} System.Exception {System.InvalidOperationException}
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(totemmessage));
So,my question here is, how do I programmatically control the order of these xml elements in my app before sending it to the WS?Note:I dont want to use xslt for this purpose.
Thanks for reading.
Here are my entity classes:

I used XmlElement[Order =n] on top of each of the properties in the entity classes. So, after playing around with the ordering, I could made this serialization work.Inheritance and partial classes made this fix all the more difficult!Thanks.

The XmlSerializer generates the elements in the order of declaration in the class - can you just change the order in the entity?

How to use Order = N together with other XML attributes and List collection.
public class MyClass
{
[XmlAnyElement("My-XLMComment", Order = 3)] public XmlComment CommentA { get; set; } = new XmlDocument().CreateComment("This is an XML comment");
[XmlAttribute("MyAttribute")] public string str4 { get; set; } //This is a XML-Attribute, Order not applicable
[XmlIgnore] public string str1 { get; set; } //This is a [XmlIgnore], Order not applicable
[XmlElement(Order = 5)] public string str2 { get; set; } // Standard property with Order
[XmlElement(Order = 2)] public string str3 { get; set; } // Standard property with Order
[XmlElement(Order = 1)] public List<MyList> ListElms = new List<MyList> //List collection with Order
{
new ListElm {str1 = "xxx", str2 ="yyy", str3 ="zzz"} ,
new ListElm {str1 = "xxx", str2 ="yyy", str3 ="zzz"}
};
public class MyList
{
[XmlElement(Order = 3)] public string str1 { get; set; } // Order can be assigned, but not mandatory
[XmlElement(Order = 2)] public string str2 { get; set; } // Order can be assigned, but not mandatory
[XmlElement(Order = 1)] public string str3 { get; set; } // Order can be assigned, but not mandatory
}
}
Will serialize to:
<MyClass MyAttribute="str4">
<ListElms>
<str3>zzz</str3>
<str2>yyy</str2>
<str1>xxx</str1>
</ListElms>
<ListElms>
<str3>zzz</str3>
<str2>yyy</str2>
<str1>xxx</str1>
</ListElms>
<str3>str3</str3>
<!--This is an XML comment-->
<str2>str2</str2>
</MyClass>

Constructing GET Request using WSDL Service Reference

I'm connecting to the clothing distributor SanMar using their wsdl endpoint. I've created a service reference for it but where I'm hitting a roadblock is in a specific method I want to call. It requires two params, the one that's giving me issues is an item[]. The wsdl documentation has it's own definition of an item[] which I can't seem to satisfy.
The endpoint is https://ws.sanmar.com:8080/SanMarWebServices/SanMarNotificationServicePort?WSDL
The documentation for the item[] object is:

I have the following C# classes
class Advert2
{
public int? Id { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreatedOn { get; set; }
public DateTime? ExpiresOn { get; set; }
public Aircraft MyAircraft { get; set; }
public List<Seller2> MySellers { get; set; }
public List<Membership> MyMemberships { get; set; }
public Advert2()
{
MySellers = new List<Seller2>();
MyMemberships = new List<Membership>();
MyAircraft = new Aircraft();
}
}
class Seller2
{
public int? Id { get; set; }
public string SellerName { get; set; }
public string Phone { get; set; }
}
class Membership
{
public int? Id { get; set; }
public string MembershipNumber { get; set; }
public DateTime? From { get; set; }
public DateTime? To { get; set; }
public String MemberType { get; set; }
}
class Aircraft {
public string Make { get; set; }
public string Model { get; set; }
public decimal? Price { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
Then i have used the following two methods to parse XML elements and attributes ( check for NULLs )
public static class XMLCommons
{
public static string TryGetElementValue(this XElement parentEl, string elementName, string defaultValue = null)
{
var foundEl = parentEl.Element(elementName);
if (foundEl != null)
{
return foundEl.Value;
}
return defaultValue;
}
public static string TryGetAttribtueValue(this XElement parentEl, string elementName, string attrName, string defaultValue = null)
{
var foundEl = parentEl.Element(elementName);
if (foundEl != null) {
//check attribute exists
var foundAttr = foundEl.Attribute(attrName);
if (foundAttr != null)
{
return foundAttr.Value;
}
}
return defaultValue;
}
}
Then i have written the following code to read element/attributes on the XML, and populate data to the Advert2 object structure
var xmlPath2 = System.IO.Path.Combine("../../../data/" + "XMLFile2.xml");
var xml2 = XDocument.Load(xmlPath2);
var query2 = xml2.Root.Descendants("ad").Select(n => new Advert2 {
Id = Convert.ToInt32(n.Parent.TryGetAttribtueValue("ad", "id")),
CreatedOn = Convert.ToDateTime( n.Parent.TryGetAttribtueValue("ad", "createdon") ),
ExpiresOn = Convert.ToDateTime(n.Parent.TryGetAttribtueValue("ad", "expireson")),
MyAircraft = new Aircraft {
Make = n.TryGetElementValue("make"),
Model = n.TryGetElementValue("model"),
Description = n.TryGetElementValue("description"),
Price = Convert.ToDecimal( n.TryGetElementValue("price") ) },
MySellers = new List<Seller2>().Add( new Seller2 {
Id = Convert.ToInt32( n.TryGetAttribtueValue("seller","id") ),
SellerName = n.TryGetElementValue("seller"),
Phone = n.TryGetAttribtueValue("seller","phone")
} )
}).ToList();
but the issues is i get syntax errors when i tried to create objects to populate MySellers List.
Error:
Error CS0029
Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to System.Collections.Generic.List<XMLParsing.Seller2>'
So it seems like i don't know how to populate those two collections MySellers and MyMemberships.
is there away to populate those two collections so i can create the Averts2 Collection?

I know this is not quite in the spirit of the question. However, it should be as simple as
var xmlStream = new StreamReader(#"D:\something.xml");
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(flights_for_sale));
var result = (flights_for_sale)serializer.Deserialize(xmlStream);
The below was obtained by pasting the xml into visual studio

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"?>

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");

I have 5 different "Classes" in the Structure and all 5 Classes have the same values like this:

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)
{
...
}

Programmatically controlling the order of xml elements - c#

I used XmlElement[Order =n] on top of each of the properties in the entity classes. So, after playing around with the ordering, I could made this serialization work.Inheritance and partial classes made this fix all the more difficult!Thanks.

The XmlSerializer generates the elements in the order of declaration in the class - can you just change the order in the entity?
