XML可序列化可序列化对象的通用列表

我可以序列化可序列化对象的通用列表，而无需指定它们的类型。

类似于下面的破损代码背后的意图：

List<ISerializable> serializableList = new List<ISerializable>();

XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(serializableList.GetType());

serializableList.Add((ISerializable)PersonList);

using (StreamWriter streamWriter = System.IO.File.CreateText(fileName))
{
    xmlSerializer.Serialize(streamWriter, serializableList);
}

编辑：

对于那些想了解细节的人：当我尝试运行此代码时，它在XMLSerializer [...]行上的错误如下：

无法序列化接口System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable。

如果我改变了List<object>我会得到"There was an error generating the XML document."。InnerException详细信息是"{"The type System.Collections.Generic.List1[[Project1.Person, ConsoleFramework, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]] may not be used in this context."}"

人员对象定义如下：

[XmlRoot("Person")]
public class Person
{
    string _firstName = String.Empty;
    string _lastName = String.Empty;

    private Person()
    {
    }

    public Person(string lastName, string firstName)
    {
        _lastName = lastName;
        _firstName = firstName;
    }

    [XmlAttribute(DataType = "string", AttributeName = "LastName")]
    public string LastName
    {
        get { return _lastName; }
        set { _lastName = value; }
    }

    [XmlAttribute(DataType = "string", AttributeName = "FirstName")]
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return _firstName; }
        set { _firstName = value; }
    }
}

PersonList只是一个List<Person>。

不过，这只是用于测试，因此并不认为细节太重要。关键是我有一个或多个不同的对象，所有这些对象都是可序列化的。我想将它们全部序列化为一个文件。我认为最简单的方法是将它们放在通用列表中，然后一次性序列化列表。但这是行不通的。

我也尝试过List<IXmlSerializable>，但是失败了

System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor.

抱歉，缺少详细信息，但是我是对此的初学者，不知道需要什么详细信息。如果人们要求更多细节，而试图以某种方式让我理解需要的细节或概述可能指示的基本答案，那将很有帮助。

也要感谢到目前为止我得到的两个答案-我可能会花更多的时间阅读而没有得到这些想法。人们在此站点上的帮助程度令人惊讶。

我有一个带有动态绑定项的通用List <>的解决方案。

类PersonalList是根元素

[XmlRoot("PersonenListe")]
[XmlInclude(typeof(Person))] // include type class Person
public class PersonalList
{
    [XmlArray("PersonenArray")]
    [XmlArrayItem("PersonObjekt")]
    public List<Person> Persons = new List<Person>();

    [XmlElement("Listname")]
    public string Listname { get; set; }

    // Konstruktoren 
    public PersonalList() { }

    public PersonalList(string name)
    {
        this.Listname = name;
    }

    public void AddPerson(Person person)
    {
        Persons.Add(person);
    }
}

类Person这是一个列表元素

[XmlType("Person")] // define Type
[XmlInclude(typeof(SpecialPerson)), XmlInclude(typeof(SuperPerson))]  
        // include type class SpecialPerson and class SuperPerson
public class Person
{
    [XmlAttribute("PersID", DataType = "string")]
    public string ID { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("Name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("City")]
    public string City { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("Age")]
    public int Age { get; set; }

    // Konstruktoren 
    public Person() { }

    public Person(string name, string city, int age, string id)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.City = city;
        this.Age = age;
        this.ID = id;
    }
}

类SpecialPerson继承Person

[XmlType("SpecialPerson")] // define Type
public class SpecialPerson : Person
{
    [XmlElement("SpecialInterests")]
    public string Interests { get; set; }

    public SpecialPerson() { }

    public SpecialPerson(string name, string city, int age, string id, string interests)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.City = city;
        this.Age = age;
        this.ID = id;
        this.Interests = interests;
    }
}

类SuperPerson继承Person

[XmlType("SuperPerson")] // define Type
public class SuperPerson : Person
{
    [XmlArray("Skills")]
    [XmlArrayItem("Skill")]
    public List<String> Skills { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("Alias")]
    public string Alias { get; set; }

    public SuperPerson() 
    {
        Skills = new List<String>();
    }

    public SuperPerson(string name, string city, int age, string id, string[] skills, string alias)
    {
        Skills = new List<String>();

        this.Name = name;
        this.City = city;
        this.Age = age;
        this.ID = id;
        foreach (string item in skills)
        {
            this.Skills.Add(item);   
        }
        this.Alias = alias;
    }
}

和主要的测试源

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    PersonalList personen = new PersonalList(); 
    personen.Listname = "Friends";

    // normal person
    Person normPerson = new Person();
    normPerson.ID = "0";
    normPerson.Name = "Max Man";
    normPerson.City = "Capitol City";
    normPerson.Age = 33;

    // special person
    SpecialPerson specPerson = new SpecialPerson();
    specPerson.ID = "1";
    specPerson.Name = "Albert Einstein";
    specPerson.City = "Ulm";
    specPerson.Age = 36;
    specPerson.Interests = "Physics";

    // super person
    SuperPerson supPerson = new SuperPerson();
    supPerson.ID = "2";
    supPerson.Name = "Superman";
    supPerson.Alias = "Clark Kent";
    supPerson.City = "Metropolis";
    supPerson.Age = int.MaxValue;
    supPerson.Skills.Add("fly");
    supPerson.Skills.Add("strong");

    // Add Persons
    personen.AddPerson(normPerson);
    personen.AddPerson(specPerson);
    personen.AddPerson(supPerson);

    // Serialize 
    Type[] personTypes = { typeof(Person), typeof(SpecialPerson), typeof(SuperPerson) };
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(PersonalList), personTypes); 
    FileStream fs = new FileStream("Personenliste.xml", FileMode.Create); 
    serializer.Serialize(fs, personen); 
    fs.Close(); 
    personen = null;

    // Deserialize 
    fs = new FileStream("Personenliste.xml", FileMode.Open); 
    personen = (PersonalList)serializer.Deserialize(fs); 
    serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, personen);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

重要的是定义，并包括不同的类型。

请参阅XML序列化简介：

可以序列化的项目

可以使用XmlSerializer 类对以下各项进行序列化：

• 公共读/写属性和公共类的字段
• 实现ICollection或IEnumerable
• XmlElement 对象
• XmlNode 对象
• DataSet 对象

尤其ISerializable是[Serializable]属性还是没关系。

既然您已经告诉我们您的问题是什么（“不起作用”不是问题说明），那么您可以获得实际问题的答案，而不是猜测。

当序列化一个类型的集合但实际上将序列化派生类型的实例的集合时，您需要让序列化器知道您将实际序列化的类型。对的集合也是如此object。

您需要使用XmlSerializer（Type，Type []）构造函数来列出可能的类型。

如果不指定期望的类型，则无法序列化对象的集合。您必须将期望类型的列表传递给XmlSerializer（extraTypes参数）的构造函数：

List<object> list = new List<object>();
list.Add(new Foo());
list.Add(new Bar());

XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(object), new Type[] {typeof(Foo), typeof(Bar)});
using (StreamWriter streamWriter = System.IO.File.CreateText(fileName))
{
    xs.Serialize(streamWriter, list);
}

如果列表中的所有对象都继承自同一类，则还可以使用XmlInclude属性指定所需的类型：

[XmlInclude(typeof(Foo)), XmlInclude(typeof(Bar))]
public class MyBaseClass
{
}

我认为最好使用带有通用参数的方法，例如：

public static void SerializeToXml<T>(T obj, string fileName)
{
    using (var fileStream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create))
    { 
        var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)); 
        ser.Serialize(fileStream, obj);
    }
}

public static T DeserializeFromXml<T>(string xml)
{
    T result;
    var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (var tr = new StringReader(xml))
    {
        result = (T)ser.Deserialize(tr);
    }
    return result;
}

我认为Dreas的方法还可以。但是，对此的一种替代方法是具有一些静态帮助器方法，并在每个方法上实现IXmlSerializable，例如XmlWriter扩展方法和XmlReader以将其读回。

public static void SaveXmlSerialiableElement<T>(this XmlWriter writer, String elementName, T element) where T : IXmlSerializable
{
   writer.WriteStartElement(elementName);
   writer.WriteAttributeString("TYPE", element.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName);
   element.WriteXml(writer);
   writer.WriteEndElement();
}

public static T ReadXmlSerializableElement<T>(this XmlReader reader, String elementName) where T : IXmlSerializable
{
   reader.ReadToElement(elementName);

   Type elementType = Type.GetType(reader.GetAttribute("TYPE"));
   T element = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(elementType);
   element.ReadXml(reader);
   return element;
}

如果确实采用了直接使用XmlSerializer类的方法，请在可能的情况下事先创建序列化程序集，因为在定期构造新的XmlSerializer时会受到很大的性能影响。

对于集合，您需要这样的东西：

public static void SaveXmlSerialiazbleCollection<T>(this XmlWriter writer, String collectionName, String elementName, IEnumerable<T> items) where T : IXmlSerializable
{
   writer.WriteStartElement(collectionName);
   foreach (T item in items)
   {
      writer.WriteStartElement(elementName);
      writer.WriteAttributeString("TYPE", item.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName);
      item.WriteXml(writer);
      writer.WriteEndElement();
   }
   writer.WriteEndElement();
}

下面是我的项目中的Util类：

namespace Utils
{
    public static class SerializeUtil
    {
        public static void SerializeToFormatter<F>(object obj, string path) where F : IFormatter, new()
        {
            if (obj == null)
            {
                throw new NullReferenceException("obj Cannot be Null.");
            }

            if (obj.GetType().IsSerializable == false)
            {
                //  throw new 
            }
            IFormatter f = new F();
            SerializeToFormatter(obj, path, f);
        }

        public static T DeserializeFromFormatter<T, F>(string path) where F : IFormatter, new()
        {
            T t;
            IFormatter f = new F();
            using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(path))
            {
                t = (T)f.Deserialize(fs);
            }
            return t;
        }

        public static void SerializeToXML<T>(string path, object obj)
        {
            XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
            {
                xs.Serialize(fs, obj);
            }
        }

        public static T DeserializeFromXML<T>(string path)
        {
            XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(path))
            {
                return (T)xs.Deserialize(fs);
            }
        }

        public static T DeserializeFromXml<T>(string xml)
        {
            T result;

            var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (var tr = new StringReader(xml))
            {
                result = (T)ser.Deserialize(tr);
            }
            return result;
        }


        private static void SerializeToFormatter(object obj, string path, IFormatter formatter)
        {
            using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
            {
                formatter.Serialize(fs, obj);
            }
        }
    }
}

我发现了最简单的方法。将System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArray属性应用于它。

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArray] //This is the part that makes it work
List<object> serializableList = new List<object>();

XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(serializableList.GetType());

serializableList.Add(PersonList);

using (StreamWriter streamWriter = System.IO.File.CreateText(fileName))
{
    xmlSerializer.Serialize(streamWriter, serializableList);
}

序列化器将以阵列形式接收并将序列项作为子节点序列化。

knowTypeList参数可让DataContractSerializer序列化几种已知类型：

private static void WriteObject(
        string fileName, IEnumerable<Vehichle> reflectedInstances, List<Type> knownTypeList)
    {
        using (FileStream writer = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Append))
        {
            foreach (var item in reflectedInstances)
            {
                var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(Vehichle), knownTypeList);
                serializer.WriteObject(writer, item);
            }
        }
    }

如果可以更改XML输出要求，那么您始终可以使用二进制序列化-更适合使用异构对象列表。这是一个例子：

private void SerializeList(List<Object> Targets, string TargetPath)
{
    IFormatter Formatter = new BinaryFormatter();

    using (FileStream OutputStream = System.IO.File.Create(TargetPath))
    {
        try
        {
            Formatter.Serialize(OutputStream, Targets);
        } catch (SerializationException ex) {
            //(Likely Failed to Mark Type as Serializable)
            //...
        }
}

这样使用：

[Serializable]
public class Animal
{
    public string Home { get; set; }
}

[Serializable]
public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}


public void ExampleUsage() {

    List<Object> SerializeMeBaby = new List<Object> {
        new Animal { Home = "London, UK" },
        new Person { Name = "Skittles" }
    };

    string TargetPath = Path.Combine(
        Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData),
        "Test1.dat");

    SerializeList(SerializeMeBaby, TargetPath);
}
