Add XmlEnumAttribute Support

See original GitHub issue

Suppose I have the following enum:

    public enum SessionTypeEnum
    {
        /// <remarks />
        [XmlEnum("My Training List")] MyTrainingList,

        /// <remarks />
        [XmlEnum("Training List")] TrainingList,

        /// <remarks />
        [XmlEnum("Service List")]
        ServiceList
    }

When I serialize an object with a property of the above enum, the selected value is not the Name property specified in the XmlEnum attribute.

e.g. for ServiceList, I expect the serializer to generate “Service List”, but it generates ServiceList. Do I need to use another attribute?

I am aware that the document size will increase, however, I will be submitting the XML to an external web service, which requires the enum values to match their schema…

Anyway, the project had reference to the AspCore package, changing that to the full package on MyGet solved the issue ☺️

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Ahh the conflict. You are actually increasing document size by utilizing this, but on the other hand we do strive to be as compatible with the classic serializer where possible – for better or for worse. 😄 This was an easy fix and you can try it out here:

Please let us know if you find any additional issues. The easier to fix, the better. 😉
