xml attribute serialization

[Giles M]

i need to serialize my class into xml that looks like this:

<dog>
<breed type="large">sp aniel</breed>
</dog>

but i'm not sure how to get an attribute into a property of my class, i can
use the xmlattribute tag to make an attribute of my dog class but i want an
attribute on my property, is this possible? if so how do i do it?

many thanks

Re: xml attribute serialization

How about something like:

class Breed
{
[XmlText]
string Name;

[XmlAttribute]
string type;
}

class Dog
{
Breed breed;
}

Type, like the breed's name is a property on its own. Both are kind of
attributes on breed. Only complex types (classes) can have more than one
property.
