Comment : contrôler la sérialisation de classes dérivées

  • Article

L’utilisation de l’attribut XmlElementAttribute pour modifier le nom d’un élément XML ne constitue pas l’unique moyen de personnaliser la sérialisation d’un objet. Vous pouvez également personnaliser le flux de données XML en effectuant une dérivation à partir d'une classe existante et en indiquant à l'instance XmlSerializer comment sérialiser la nouvelle classe.

Par exemple, d'après une classe Book, vous pouvez effectuer une dérivation et créer une classe ExpandedBook qui dispose de quelques propriétés supplémentaires. Toutefois, vous devez demander à XmlSerializer d’accepter le type dérivé lors de la sérialisation ou de la désérialisation. Pour ce faire, créez une instance XmlElementAttribute et affectez à sa propriété Type le type de la classe dérivée. Ajoutez XmlElementAttribute à une instance XmlAttributes. Ajoutez ensuite XmlAttributes à une instance XmlAttributeOverrides, en spécifiant le type qui est substitué et le nom du membre qui accepte la classe dérivée. Cela est illustré par l'exemple suivant.

Exemple

Public Class Orders  
    public Books() As Book  
End Class
  
Public Class Book  
    public ISBN As String
End Class  
  
Public Class ExpandedBook  
    Inherits Book  
    public NewEdition As Boolean  
End Class  
  
Public Class Run  
    Shared Sub Main()  
        Dim t As Run = New Run()  
        t.SerializeObject("Book.xml")  
        t.DeserializeObject("Book.xml")  
    End Sub  
  
    Public Sub SerializeObject(filename As String)  
        ' Each overridden field, property, or type requires
        ' an XmlAttributes instance.
        Dim attrs As XmlAttributes = New XmlAttributes()  
  
        ' Creates an XmlElementAttribute instance to override the
        ' field that returns Book objects. The overridden field  
        ' returns ExpandedBook objects instead.  
        Dim attr As XmlElementAttribute = _  
        New XmlElementAttribute()  
        attr.ElementName = "NewBook"  
        attr.Type = GetType(ExpandedBook)
