扩展类:

using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace MyProj.Extensions
{
    public static class XmlExtension
    {
        public static string Serialize<T>(this T value)
        {
            if (value == null) return string.Empty;

            var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (var stringWriter = new StringWriter())
            {
                using (var xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stringWriter,new XmlWriterSettings{Indent = true}))
                {
                    xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, value);
                    return stringWriter.ToString();
                }    
            }
        }
    }
}

用法:

Foo foo = new Foo{MyProperty="I have been serialized"};

string xml = foo.Serialize();

只是引用名称空间持有您的扩展方法在文件中，你想使用它，它将工作(在我的例子中，它将是:使用myproject . extensions;)

请注意，如果您想使扩展方法只特定于一个特定的类(例如。， Foo)，你可以在扩展方法中替换T参数。

序列化(这个Foo值){…}

这比调用类的ToString方法要复杂一些，但也不是很复杂。

下面是一个简单的下拉函数，可以用来序列化任何类型的对象。它返回一个包含序列化XML内容的字符串:

public string SerializeObject(object obj)
{
    System.Xml.XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream()) {
        serializer.Serialize(ms, obj);
        ms.Position = 0;
        xmlDoc.Load(ms);
        return xmlDoc.InnerXml;
    }
}

我将从本·格里普卡的回答开始:

public void Save(string FileName)
{
    using (var writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(FileName))
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());
        serializer.Serialize(writer, this);
        writer.Flush();
    }
}

I used this code earlier. But reality showed that this solution is a bit problematic. Usually most of programmers just serialize setting on save and deserialize settings on load. This is an optimistic scenario. Once the serialization failed, because of some reason, the file is partly written, XML file is not complete and it is invalid. In consequence XML deserialization does not work and your application may crash on start. If the file is not huge, I suggest first serialize object to MemoryStream then write the stream to the File. This case is especially important if there is some complicated custom serialization. You can never test all cases.

public void Save(string fileName)
{
    //first serialize the object to memory stream,
    //in case of exception, the original file is not corrupted
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        var writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(ms);    
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());
        serializer.Serialize(writer, this);
        writer.Flush();

        //if the serialization succeed, rewrite the file.
        File.WriteAllBytes(fileName, ms.ToArray());
    }
}

现实场景中的反序列化应该与损坏的序列化文件算在一起，它有时会发生。负载函数由Ben Gripka提供。

public static [ObjectType] Load(string fileName)
{
    using (var stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(fileName))
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof([ObjectType]));
        return serializer.Deserialize(stream) as [ObjectType];        
    }    
}

它可能会被一些复苏场景所包裹。它适用于设置文件或其他文件，可以删除的情况下出现问题。

public static [ObjectType] LoadWithRecovery(string fileName)
{
    try
    {
        return Load(fileName);
    }
    catch(Excetion)
    {
        File.Delete(fileName); //delete corrupted settings file
        return GetFactorySettings();
    }
}

    string FilePath = ConfigurationReader.FileLocation;   //Getting path value from web.config            
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Devices)); //typeof(object)
            MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
            serializer.Serialize(memStream, lstDevices);//lstdevices : I take result as a list.
            FileStream file = new FileStream(folderName + "\\Data.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite); //foldername:Specify the path to store the xml file
            memStream.WriteTo(file);
            file.Close();

您可以创建结果并将其作为xml文件存储在所需的位置。

或者你可以把这个方法添加到你的对象中:

    public void Save(string filename)
    {
        var ser = new XmlSerializer(this.GetType());
        using (var stream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create))
            ser.Serialize(stream, this);
    }

要序列化一个对象，请执行:

 using (StreamWriter myWriter = new StreamWriter(path, false))
 {
     XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(your_object_type));
     mySerializer.Serialize(myWriter, objectToSerialize);
 }

还要记住，要使XmlSerializer工作，需要一个无参数构造函数。
