c# - Having a class provide default XmlElementName -

i have set of classes trying serialize part of specification: http://open511.org/root.html

public class link {     public link()     {      }      public link(string url, string rel = "self")     {         url = url;         rel = rel;     }      [xmlattribute("rel")]     public string rel { get; set; }      [xmlattribute("href")]     public string url { get; set; } } 

and

public class service {     private link _servicetypeurl;      [xmlelement("link")]     public link servicetypeurl     {         { return _servicetypeurl; }         set         {             _servicetypeurl = value;             _servicetypeurl.rel = "service_type";         }     }      [xmlelement("link")]     public link url { get; set; }      [xmlarray("supported_versions")]     [xmlarrayitem("supported_version")]     public list<supportedversion> supportedversions { get; set; } } 

it won't let me have 2 properties same xmlelement. there way this?

i have loved have link class specify use element name "link"

it looks you're trying achieve isn't supported. alternatives are:

1. use different element names serialize attributes
2. use collection hold links. makes querying data hard in cases, believe give similar want.
