我有以下方法来保存一个对象到一个文件:
// Save an object out to the disk
public static void SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize, String filename)
{
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(toSerialize.GetType());
TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(filename);
xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
textWriter.Close();
}
我承认这不是我写的(我只是把它转换成一个接受类型参数的扩展方法)。
现在我需要它把xml作为字符串返回给我(而不是保存到文件中)。我正在调查这件事,但我还没有弄清楚。
我想对于熟悉这些物体的人来说,这可能很简单。如果没有,我最终会弄清楚的。
代码安全说明
关于接受的答案,在XmlSerializer构造函数中使用toSerialize.GetType()而不是typeof(T)是很重要的:如果使用第一种方法,代码将覆盖所有可能的场景,而使用后一种方法有时会失败。
下面是一些示例代码的链接,其中XmlSerializer在使用typeof(T)时抛出异常,因为您将派生类型的实例传递给调用SerializeObject<T>()的方法,该方法是在派生类型的基类中定义的:http://ideone.com/1Z5J1。注意,Ideone使用Mono来执行代码:使用Microsoft . net运行时获得的实际异常有一个与Ideone上显示的不同的消息,但它同样失败。
为了完整起见,我在这里发布了完整的代码示例,以供将来参考,以防Ideone(我发布代码的地方)将来不可用:
using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;
public class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
Sub subInstance = new Sub();
Console.WriteLine(subInstance.TestMethod());
}
public class Super
{
public string TestMethod() {
return this.SerializeObject();
}
}
public class Sub : Super
{
}
}
public static class TestExt {
public static string SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize)
{
Console.WriteLine(typeof(T).Name); // PRINTS: "Super", the base/superclass -- Expected output is "Sub" instead
Console.WriteLine(toSerialize.GetType().Name); // PRINTS: "Sub", the derived/subclass
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter();
// And now...this will throw and Exception!
// Changing new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)) to new XmlSerializer(subInstance.GetType());
// solves the problem
xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
return textWriter.ToString();
}
}
我觉得我需要分享这个被操纵的代码到公认的答案-因为我没有声誉,我无法评论。

我知道这不是问题的真正答案,但根据问题的投票数和接受的答案,我怀疑人们实际上是在使用代码将对象序列化为字符串。
使用XML序列化会给输出增加不必要的额外文本垃圾。
对于下面的类
public class UserData
{
public int UserId { get; set; }
}
它生成
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<UserData xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<UserId>0</UserId>
</UserData>
更好的解决方案是使用JSON序列化(最好的方法之一是Json.NET)。
序列化一个对象:
var userData = new UserData {UserId = 0};
var userDataString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(userData);
反序列化一个对象:
var userData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserData>(userDataString);
序列化的JSON字符串看起来像这样:
{"UserId":0}
在极少数情况下,您可能希望实现自己的String序列化。
但这可能是个坏主意,除非你知道自己在做什么。(例如用批处理文件序列化I/O)
类似这样的方法就可以达到目的(而且手动/批处理编辑也很容易),但是要注意应该做更多的检查,比如名称不包含换行符。
public string name {get;set;}
public int age {get;set;}
Person(string serializedPerson)
{
string[] tmpArray = serializedPerson.Split('\n');
if(tmpArray.Length>2 && tmpArray[0].Equals("#")){
this.name=tmpArray[1];
this.age=int.TryParse(tmpArray[2]);
}else{
throw new ArgumentException("Not a valid serialization of a person");
}
}
public string SerializeToString()
{
return "#\n" +
name + "\n" +
age;
}
