c# - Read array of strings from XML file -

i have following class:

using system.collections; using system.xml; using system.xml.serialization;  public class resource { [xmlattribute("name")] public string m_name { get; set; }  public string[] itemdrop;  } 

and xml file:

<resourcedata> <resources>     <resource name="iron ore">         <itemdrop type="array">             <value>iron piece</value>         </itemdrop>     </resource>     <resource name="tree">         <itemdrop type="array">             <value>log</value>             <value>leaves</value>             <value>apple</value>         </itemdrop>     </resource> </resources> </resourcedata> 

i'm trying deserialize file , place 2 resource objects in array.

it reads m_name there nothing in itemdrop array.

this how load data:

public static resourcecontainer load(string path) {     var serializer = new xmlserializer(typeof(resourcecontainer));     using (var stream = new filestream(path, filemode.open))     {         return serializer.deserialize(stream) resourcecontainer;     } } 

you surely need xmlarrayitem attribute:

public class resource {     [xmlattribute("name")]     public string m_name { get; set; }      [xmlarrayitem("value")]     public string[] itemdrop; }
