Write Object Data to an XML File using C#
This example writes the object from a class to an XML file using the XmlSerializer class.This code example defines a class named Book, creates an instance of the class, and uses XML serialization
to write the instance to an XML file.
Example:-
public class XMLWrite
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WriteXML();
}
public class Book
{
public String title {get; set; };
}
public static void WriteXML()
{
Book overview = new Book();
overview.title = "Serialization Overview";
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer writer =
new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(Book));
System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(
@"c:\temp\SerializationOverview.xml");
writer.Serialize(file, overview);
file.Close();
}
}
Security
This example creates a new file, if the file does not already exist. If an application needs to create a file, that application needs Create access for the folder. If the file already exists, the application needs only Write access, a lesser privilege. Where possible, it is more secure to create the file during deployment, and only grant Read access to a single file, rather than Create access for a folder.
