  PROBLEMS DESERIALIZING XML

  Mar 22, 2012 12:10 AM|LINK

  Hi all,

  I am having some problems in deserialzing the XML from a web response.  listingResponse is returning as a NULL object.

  HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();
  
  // Get the response stream into a reader
  Stream responseReader;
  responseReader = response.GetResponseStream();
  
  XmlRootAttribute xRoot = new XmlRootAttribute();
  xRoot.ElementName = "listingResponse";
  xRoot.IsNullable = true;
  
  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(listingsResponseType), xRoot);
  listingsResponseType listingResponse = (listingsResponseType)serializer.Deserialize(responseReader);
  return listingResponse;

  Hi nm4568,

       Please try following Methods to Serailize and Deserialize an object :

  public static String SerializeAnObject(Object obj)
          {
              XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
              XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
              MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
              try
              {
                  serializer.Serialize(stream, obj);
                  stream.Position = 0;
                  doc.Load(stream);
                  return doc.InnerXml;
              }
              catch
              {
                  throw;
              }
              finally
              {
                  stream.Close();
                  stream.Dispose();
              }
          }

          public static Object DeserializeAnObject(String xmlOfAnObject,Type type)
          {
              Object obj = new Object();
              StringReader read = new StringReader(xmlOfAnObject);
              XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(type);
              XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(read);
              try
              {
                  obj = (Object)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
                  return obj;
              }
              catch
              {
                  throw;
              }
              finally
              {
                  reader.Close();
                  read.Close();
                  read.Dispose();
              }
          }
