如何：控制派生类的序列化
使用 XmlElementAttribute 属性更改 XML 元素的名称不是自定义对象序列化的唯一方法。 您还可以自定义 XML 流，具体方法为从现有类派生以及指示 XmlSerializer 实例如何序列化新类。
例如，假设有一个 Book 类，您可以从该类派生，并创建一个具有多个属性的 ExpandedBook 类。 然而，序列化或反序列化时，必须指导 XmlSerializer 接受派生类型。 可以通过创建一个 XmlElementAttribute 实例并将其 Type 属性设置为派生类类型来完成此操作。 将 XmlElementAttribute 添加到 XmlAttributes 实例。 再将 XmlAttributes 添加到 XmlAttributeOverrides 实例，指定被重写的类型和接受派生类型的成员名。 这在下面的示例中显示。
