De-serialize's a class structure
DeSerialize(item as Object,
rootName as String,
xmlDoc as XmlDocument)
Parameters
- item
- The object to de-serialize into
- rootName
- Name of the root.
- xmlDoc
- The Xml Document to be de-serialized.
Remarks
All classes that are de-serialized must have a default constructor that has no parameters.
In this example here we needed to add Customer and Address as known types as they were serialized as Polymorphic objects instead of strongly typed.
s = new XmlSerialization.XmlSerializer()
s.AddKnownClass(GetTypeInfo(Customer))
s.AddKnownClass(GetTypeInfo(Address))
Dim deserializedFacility as Facility = new Facility()
s.DeSerialize(deserializedFacility,"Facility",xmlDoc)
