  Why the XmlInclude does not work in my project?

  Sep 22, 2019 08:10 AM|mywatermelon|LINK

  I override the Serialize for removing the prefix of XML:

  Here is the startup.cs:

  services.AddMvc(options =>
              {
                  options.OutputFormatters.Add(new Classes.XmlSerializerOutputFormatterNamespace());
              })
  
  

  And here is the code of override Serialize:

  public class XmlSerializerOutputFormatterNamespace : XmlSerializerOutputFormatter
      {
          protected override void Serialize(XmlSerializer xmlSerializer, XmlWriter xmlWriter, object value)
          {
              //applying "empty" namespace will produce no namespaces
              var emptyNamespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
              emptyNamespaces.Add("", "any-non-empty-string");
              xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, value, emptyNamespaces);
          }
      }

  And here is the code of controller:

          [HttpPost]
          [Produces("application/xml")]
          public async Task<BaseMsg> mp([FromBody]TextMsg XmlData)
          {
              TextMsg ReturnXmlData = new TextMsg() { ToUserName = XmlData.FromUserName, FromUserName = XmlData.ToUserName ,CreateTime= XmlData.CreateTime, MsgType= "text", Content ="你好呀"};                        
              return ReturnXmlData;
          }
          [XmlInclude(typeof(BaseMsg))]
          [XmlRoot("xml")]
          public class BaseMsg {
              public string ToUserName { get; set; }
              public string FromUserName { get; set; }
              public string CreateTime { get; set; }
              public string MsgType { get; set; }
              public string MsgId { get; set; }
          }
          [XmlInclude(typeof(TextMsg))]
          [XmlRoot("xml")]
          public class TextMsg:BaseMsg {
              
              public string Content { get; set; }
          }

  After I ran the program and send a post, Visual Studio reports an error in the override Serialize:

  System.InvalidOperationException: 'There was an error generating the XML document.'

  InvalidOperationException: The type Demo.Controllers.CallbackController+TextMsg was not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify types that are not known statically.

  It seems reported this error for I did not use the XmlInclude. However, as you see I added it yet and why I did not work yet?

  I tried some ways and found if I don't inherit the BaseMsg class, it won't report this anymore.

  Why it turns out to be this? Would you please help me? Thank you.

  Hi mywatermelon,

  You need to remove the following attribute in the TextMsg class:

  [XmlInclude(typeof(TextMsg))]

  And then modify the attribute in BaseMsg class like below:

      [XmlInclude(typeof(TextMsg))]
      [XmlRoot("xml")]
      public class BaseMsg
      {
          public string ToUserName { get; set; }
          public string FromUserName { get; set; }
          public string CreateTime { get; set; }
          public string MsgType { get; set; }
          public string MsgId { get; set; }
      }

  Reference: http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~lok/csharp/refdocs/System.Xml.Serialization/types/XmlIncludeAttribute.html

  Best Regards,

  Rena
