Serialization Problem

Hi,

I want to deserialize a xml file into a class (Scene.cs) containing this variable: public List<GameObject> SceneGraph { get; set; } This is the GameObject class: I’m trying to serialize this class: https://github.com/michidk/BrokenEngine/blob/master/BrokenEngine/GameObject.cs

My xml file currently looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Scene xmlns="BrokenEngine.Scene">
  <SceneGraph>
    <GameObject type="BrokenEngine.GameObject">
      <Name>Super Cool GameObject</Name>
      <Position type="OpenTK.Vector3">
        <X>1</X>
        <Y>1</Y>
        <Z>1</Z>
      </Position>
    </GameObject>
  </SceneGraph>
</Scene>

I’ve already added a public, parameterless constructor. I get the following error: {“Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: method”} What do I do wrong?

Correct, @michidk. In fact I believe at the moment if you place an XmlElementAttribute on the private children field it will pick it up as a member to emit. Since it is a List<>, it will satisfy the Collection condition above and emit accordingly.

Great job so far!

It would be no problem for me to change GameObject so that it implements ICollection. Would this make this class de-/serializeable? If so, this is great and all I need.
