SerializeXml
WARNING Experimental. It could change in a future release. Use at your own risk. Define a class that uses [DataContract], [DataMember], and [EnumMember] tags and you can then serialize an instance of that class to XML with this method Use the Name property in the DataMember to use a name that is different from the property name -- [DataContract(Name="MySpecialName")] Use the Namespace in the DataContract to use a namespace that is custom for XML -- [DataContract(Namespace = "MySpecialNamespace")]
public System.String SerializeXml(Object)
Parameters
| Name | Description | Type |

break;
case DataType.XML:
szRet = CrownPeak.CMSAPI.Experimental.DataContractSerializer.SerializeXml(SerializeData);
break;
}
return szRet;
}
public static string SerializeAssets(string szRootFolder, DataType enumDataType)
{
var SerializeData = new AssetObject();
