XmlSerializer.GenerateSerializer Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xml.Serialization

Assembly:

System.Xml.dll

Returns an assembly that contains typed serializers.

Overloads

GenerateSerializer(Type[], XmlMapping[])	Returns an assembly that contains custom-made serializers used to serialize or deserialize the specified type or types, using the specified mappings.
GenerateSerializer(Type[], XmlMapping[], CompilerParameters)	Returns an assembly that contains custom-made serializers used to serialize or deserialize the specified type or types, using the specified mappings and compiler settings and options.

Remarks

The XML Serializer Generator Tool (Sgen.exe) creates an XML serialization assembly for types in a specified assembly to improve the run-time performance of an XmlSerializer when it serializes or deserializes objects of the specified types. Use the GetXmlSerializerAssemblyName to return the name of such an assembly.

If you are distributing such an assembly as part of a client application that calls a Web service, you can apply the XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute to the client type to specify the location and name of the assembly.

GenerateSerializer(Type[], XmlMapping[])

Returns an assembly that contains custom-made serializers used to serialize or deserialize the specified type or types, using the specified mappings.

public:
 static System::Reflection::Assembly ^ GenerateSerializer(cli::array <Type ^> ^ types, cli::array <System::Xml::Serialization::XmlMapping ^> ^ mappings);

public static System.Reflection.Assembly GenerateSerializer (Type[] types, System.Xml.Serialization.XmlMapping[] mappings);

static member GenerateSerializer : Type[] * System.Xml.Serialization.XmlMapping[] -> System.Reflection.Assembly

Public Shared Function GenerateSerializer (types As Type(), mappings As XmlMapping()) As Assembly

Parameters

types

Type[]

A collection of types.

mappings

XmlMapping[]

A collection of XmlMapping objects used to convert one type to another.

Returns

Assembly

An Assembly object that contains serializers for the supplied types and mappings.

GenerateSerializer(Type[], XmlMapping[], CompilerParameters)

Returns an assembly that contains custom-made serializers used to serialize or deserialize the specified type or types, using the specified mappings and compiler settings and options.

public:
 static System::Reflection::Assembly ^ GenerateSerializer(cli::array <Type ^> ^ types, cli::array <System::Xml::Serialization::XmlMapping ^> ^ mappings, System::CodeDom::Compiler::CompilerParameters ^ parameters);

public static System.Reflection.Assembly GenerateSerializer (Type[] types, System.Xml.Serialization.XmlMapping[] mappings, System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters parameters);

static member GenerateSerializer : Type[] * System.Xml.Serialization.XmlMapping[] * System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters -> System.Reflection.Assembly

Public Shared Function GenerateSerializer (types As Type(), mappings As XmlMapping(), parameters As CompilerParameters) As Assembly

Parameters

types

Type[]

An array of type Type that contains objects used to serialize and deserialize data.

mappings

XmlMapping[]

An array of type XmlMapping that maps the XML data to the type data.

parameters

CompilerParameters

An instance of the CompilerParameters class that represents the parameters used to invoke a compiler.

Returns

Assembly

An Assembly that contains special versions of the XmlSerializer.
