Usage

Serialize Objects

//Object to be Serialized
public class TestObject
{
   public string Name { get; set; }
   public string ConnectionString { get; set; }
}

Serialize the Object to a File.

using EasyXMLSerializer;
//...
//Calling Code
// Fill the Object
var testObject = new TestObject
{
    Name = "TestName",
    ConnectionString = "Server=myServerAddress;..."
};
//Save the Object to "TestObject.xml"
var serializeTool = new SerializeTool("TestObject.xml");
serializeTool.WriteXmlFile(testObject);
//...

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestObject xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <Name>TestName</Name>
    <ConnectionString>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;</ConnectionString>
</TestObject>

You can use XMLSerializeation attributes

using System.Xml.Serialization;
[XmlRoot("Configuration")]
public class TestObject
{
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string ConnectionString { get; set; }
}

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Name="TestName">
    <ConnectionString>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;</ConnectionString>
</Configuration>

Deserialize to Object

Using a File:

var deserializeTool = new SerializeTool("TestObject.xml");
var testObject = deserializeTool.ReadXmlFile<TestObject>();
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.Name=>{testObject.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.ConnectionString=>{testObject.ConnectionString}");
//---
//Alternative
var deserializeTool = new SerializeTool();
var testObject = deserializeTool.ReadXmlFile<TestObject>("TestObject.xml");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.Name=>{testObject.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.ConnectionString=>{testObject.ConnectionString}");

Using a XML-String:

var xmlString = "<Configuration Name=\"TestName\"><ConnectionString>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;</ConnectionString></Configuration>";
var testObject = deserializeTool.ReadXmlFromString<TestObject>(xmlString);
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.Name=>{testObject.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.ConnectionString=>{testObject.ConnectionString}");

I hope this helps in many Projects :)
