xml serialization of a List without a Class object

So I am familar with the XmlArray Att开发者_如何转开发ribute and it works great when I am serializing a Class, but now I am tasked with just serializing a piece of a class, a List of Int to be exact

<Serializable()> _
Public Class InvoiceList

    <XmlArray("InvoiceList")> _
    <XmlArrayItem("InvoiceId")> _
    Public m_List As List(Of Integer)

If I serialize the entire class the alias works great but if I do

serializer = New XmlSerializer(m_List.GetType())
serializer.Serialize(stream, m_List)

I get the

<ArrayOfInt>
    <int>

How can I apply a alias just to a property?

I am looking for

<InvoiceList>
  <InvoiceId>

You need to use

XmlSerializer Constructor (Type, XmlAttributeOverrides)

which allows you to specify the xml attributes, you could either read them using reflection from your example class - or specify them explicitly.

The problem was that by specify type to list the attributes of your class are unknown - they belong only to your class
