.net/C# – Serialize into an XML Fragment – not XML Document – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/17
Thanks User Andrew Hare – Stack Overflow for answering this on Stack Overflow.
I’m pretty sure it works in all .NET and C# versions starting with 2.0.
Here is a hack-ish way to do it without having to load the entire output string into an XmlDocument:
using System; using System.Text; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Serialization; public class Example { public String Name { get; set; } static void Main() { Example example = new Example { Name = "Foo" }; XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Example)); XmlSerializerNamespaces emptyNamespace = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); emptyNamespace.Add(String.Empty, String.Empty); StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(); XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, new XmlWriterSettings { OmitXmlDeclaration = true }); serializer.Serialize(writer, example, emptyNamespace); Console.WriteLine(output.ToString()); } }
