may I know how to serialize and deserialize using C# if there have dynamic number behind of the element ? Block1 and Block2 will be dynamic based on the Block Count.

<DefectList>
    <BlockCount>2</BlockCount>
    <Block1>
    </Block1>
    <Block2>
    </Block2>
</DefectList>

Thanks.

        public static T Deserialize<T>(this T Value, string xmlPath)
    {
        T ret = default(T);

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(xmlPath))
        {
            var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (var tw = new FileStream(xmlPath, FileMode.Open))
            {
                ret = (T)serializer.Deserialize(tw);
                tw.Close();
            }
        }
        return ret;
    }

I'm trying to use this method to deserialize. and my model as below

   public class DefectList
{
    [XmlElement("DefectList")]
    public string DefectList{ get; set; }

    [XmlElement("BlockCount")]
    public int BlockCount { get; set; }

    [XmlElement]
    public ObservableCollection<Block> Block { get; set; }
}

Well, given you have these two functions:

Block DeserializeBlock(XElement xe) => ...
XElement SerializeBlock(Block block, int x) => ...

And that you have this source:

Block[] source = ...

Then serialize is like this:

XDocument xd =
    new XDocument(
        new XElement("BlockCount", source.Length),
        source.Select((x, n) => SerializeBlock(x, n   1)));

And Deserialize is like this:

Block[] output =
    Enumerable
        .Range(1, (int)xd.Root.Element("BlockCount"))
        .Select(x => DeserializeBlock(xd.Root.Element($"Block{x}")))
        .ToArray();

Use a custom xml serializer
