WCF DataMember List<> without enclosing element

The following DataContract:

    [DataContract(Namespace = "http://namespace", Name = "Blarg")]
    public class Blarg
    {
        [XmlAttribute("Attribute")]
        public string Attribute{ get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "Record", IsRequired = false, Order = 4)]
        public List<Record> Record{ get; set; }
    }

Serializes into this:

<Blarg Attribute="blah">
    <Record>
        <Record/>
        <Record/>
        <Record/>
    </Record>
</Blarg>

But I want this:

<Blarg>
    <Record/>
    <Record/>
    <Record/>
<Blarg/>

The DataContractSerializer seems to be inserting the header parent automagicall开发者_如何学JAVAy and I don't want it.

How do I go about removing the wrapping <Record>?


I don't think you can do that.

The DataContractSerializer is optimized for speed, and in the process it sacrifices some flexibility and some features (like XML attributes). I don't think you have much chance to influence the DCS - it does its job as it sees fit, and as quickly as possible. You get to define quite neatly what to serialize (with the [DataMember] attribute, but you don't really have a say in how to serialize.

If you need more control, you could pick the XmlSerializer instead - in that case, you have 10-15% slower serialization, but you can control things like the shape of the data etc. But even in this case - I am not aware of any way you can tell the XML serializer to serialize a collection into a series of XML tags without an enclosing tag for the collection.


I found the answer here. See the short story bellow(for the long one checkout the url):

 [XmlElement ("Parameter")]
    public List<Parameter> Parameters;
0
