Доступ к дочерним узлам во время Xml-сериализации

Question

Как я могу получить доступ к дочерним элементам элемента Name во время сериализации?

<Person> 
    <Name> 
     <First>John</First> 
     <Middle>Adam</Middle> 
     <Last>Smith</Last> 
     <Madian></Madian> 
    </Name> 
    <Gender>M</Gender> 
</Person> 

[XmlRootAttribute("Person", IsNullable= false)] 
public class Person 
{ 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Name/First")] 
    public string firstName; 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Name/Middle", IsNullable = true)] 
    public string middleName; 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Name/Last")] 
    public string lastName; 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Name/Madian", IsNullable = true)] 
    public string madianName; 

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Gender", DataType = "string")] 
    public string gender; 

    ... 

Answer 1

Вам нужно создать промежуточный класс:

public class Name 
{ 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "First")] 
    public string firstName; 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Middle", IsNullable = true)] 
    public string middleName; 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Last")] 
    public string lastName; 
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Madian", IsNullable = true)] 
    public string madianName; 
} 

, а затем использовать этот класс внутри Person:

[XmlRootAttribute("Person", IsNullable= false)] 
public class Person 
{ 
    public Name Name; 

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Gender", DataType = "string")] 
    public string gender; 

    ... 
} 

Answer 2

[XmlArray("Person")] 
    [XmlArrayItem("Name", typeof(Name))] 
    public List<Name> Name{ get; set; }
