How to set default values to the properties of dynamically loaded types at runtime for XML serializa
- by Erkan Y.
I need to serialize dynamically loaded types' classes using XMLSerializer.
When using XML serializer non initialized values are not being serialized. I dont have control over the assemblies I am working with so can not use XML attributes for specifying default values on properties. So I think I need to set all properties and sub properties to their default values recursively and then serialize. ( Please let me know if there is any better way )
Followed this :
Activator.CreateInstance(propType);
but above line complains about not having a parameterless constructor for some types.
Tried this :
subObject = FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(propType);
but this one gives an error "value was invalid" with no inner exception.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
