I have in my database many objects that have been serialized to XML format. Now, I need to get those XML's back to objects again. What would be the best way to do this, using as little code as possible.
CodePudding user response:
I believe the best way is to build a generic method to convert any object. But obviously you need to be in control of which object will be converted from the returned XML.
public T SerializeStringToObject(string XML)
{
T convertedObject;
try
{
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer xml = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
using (System.IO.StringReader objetoXML = new System.IO.StringReader(XML))
{
convertedObject = (T)xml.Deserialize(objetoXML);
objetoXML.Close();
}
return convertedObject;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
