Gets or sets the name of the field that returns the enumeration to use when detecting types.

public:
 property System::String ^ MemberName { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };

public string MemberName { get; set; }

member this.MemberName : string with get, set

Public Property MemberName As String

Property Value

String

The name of a field that returns an enumeration.

Examples

The following example serializes a class named Choices that includes two fields, MyChoice and ManyChoices. The XmlChoiceIdentifierAttribute is applied to each field that specifies (through the MemberName property) another class member that gets or sets an enumeration that detects the member value. The MyChoice field can be set to a single value, with a corresponding enumeration member found in the EnumType field. The ManyChoices field returns an array of objects. The ChoiceArray field returns an array of enumeration values. For each array member in the ManyChoices field, a corresponding member is found in the array returned by the ChoiceArray field.

At least one member must be present in the enumeration returned by the field named in the MemberName value. By default, that enumeration name takes the name of the field that the XmlChoiceIdentifierAttribute is applied to.
