Kind of, use the XmlAttribute
instead of XmlElement
, but it won't look like what you want. It will look like the following:
<SomeModel SomeStringElementName="testData">
</SomeModel>
The only way I can think of to achieve what you want (natively) would be to have properties pointing to objects named SomeStringElementName and SomeInfoElementName where the class contained a single getter named "value". You could take this one step further and use DataContractSerializer so that the wrapper classes can be private. XmlSerializer won't read private properties.
// TODO: make the class generic so that an int or string can be used.
[Serializable]
public class SerializationClass
{
public SerializationClass(string value)
{
this.Value = value;
}
[XmlAttribute("value")]
public string Value { get; }
}
[Serializable]
public class SomeModel
{
[XmlIgnore]
public string SomeString { get; set; }
[XmlIgnore]
public int SomeInfo { get; set; }
[XmlElement]
public SerializationClass SomeStringElementName
{
get { return new SerializationClass(this.SomeString); }
}
}
