XML how to deserialize C#
Posted on 2013-11-28
I have an XML that's returned from a WCF. The data is defined as Array OfArrayOfString.
The XML looks like
And it is created in the WCF like
And I need to deserialize but don't know how
The XML looks like

</ArrayOfArrayOfString>
And it is created in the WCF like
int columnCount = table.Columns.Count;
int rowCount = table.Rows.Count;
List<string> captions = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < columnCount; i++)
{
captions.Add(table.Columns[i].Caption); //first item will contain column headers
}
result.Add(captions);
for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++)
{
List<string> row = new List<string>();
for (int j = 0; j < columnCount; j++)
{
row.Add(table.Rows[i].ItemArray[j].ToString());
}
result.Add(row);
}
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(List<List<string>>));
using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
serializer.Serialize(ms, result);
ms.Position = 0;
string data = new System.IO.StreamReader(ms).ReadToEnd();
return data;
}
}
catch
{
return "";
}
And I need to deserialize but don't know how
public void webService_GetSqlResultTableCompleted(object sender, WCFSvc1.GetSqlResultTableCompletedEventArgs e)
{
Int32 datGridIndex = dgMaster.SelectedIndex;
// string xmlResult = e.Result;
if (xmlResult == "")
{
MessageBox.Show("Error occured while executing SQL");
return;
}
try
{ // thos code does not work
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DBstream));
StringReader reader = new StringReader(e.Result);
DBstream result = (DBstream)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
.
.
}
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public class DBstream
{
/// <remarks/>
public DBdefinitions DBdefinitions;
}
public class DBdefinitions
{
public string dbGrp { get; set; }

You need to use the xsd.exe tool which gets installed with the Windows SDK into a directory something similar to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin
On the first run, you use xsd.exe and you convert your sample XML into a XSD file (XML schema file):
xsd yourfile.xml
This gives you yourfile.xsd, which in a second step, you can convert again using xsd.exe into a C# class:
xsd yourfile.xsd /c
This should give you a file yourfile.cs which will contain a C# class that you can use to deserialize the XML file you're getting - something like:
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(msg))
msg resultingMessage = (msg)serializer.Deserializ
Should work pretty well for most cases.
The XML serializer will take any stream as its input - either a file or a memory stream will be fine:
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(msg))
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8
msg resultingMessage = (msg)serializer.Deserializ
or use a StringReader:
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(msg))
StringReader rdr = new StringReader(inputString);
msg resultingMessage = (msg)serializer.Deserializ

Thanks for answering. Though I'm not sure I follow.
My silverlight app connects to a service via 'Service reference' --> http://prodsvc/WCFData2.Services.ServiceInterface.svc
This service exposes a method which returns data from some query in XML format.
How would I use the xsd.exe tool?
Thanks

BTW: I'm able to get the data via
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<
StringReader reader = new StringReader(xmlResult);
List<List<string>> result = (List<List<string>>)serial
result contains the data ie. result.row(0) contains the column names and subsequent rows contain the data.
I need to be able to run Linq against the rows to do calculations and summaries. What I need to do is convert the data so that lamda experssions with linq can be used and numeric columns can also be sorted by the user from the datagrid properly .
So that is why I created the class (thinking this would structure the data;
[System.Xml.Serialization.
public class DBstream
{
/// <remarks/>
public DBdefinitions DBdefinitions;
}
public class DBdefinitions
{
public string dbGrp { get; set; }
public string dbName { get; set; }
public DateTime dbMonth { get; set; }
public int dbAHT { get; set; }
public decimal dbEffeciency { get; set; }
public decimal dbCredit { get; set; }
public int dbCreditCount { get; set; }
public decimal dbMonitor { get; set; }
public decimal dbScoreAdhere { get; set; }
public decimal dbOverAll { get; set; }
public decimal dbCallDur { get; set; }
public decimal dbCallDurOut { get; set; }
public decimal dbWrapIn { get; set; }
public decimal dbRating { get; set; }
public decimal dbWrapOut { get; set; }
public decimal dbHoldTime { get; set; }
public int dbNumOfMons { get; set; }
public int dbExtn { get; set; }
}
If there is a way I can move my results to something as this, I don't need to deserialize since it already can deserialize to rows, just not formated with types.
