Class PropertyBag<TValue> - West Wind Toolkit for .NET

Class PropertyBag<TValue>

Creates a serializable string for generic types that is XML serializable.

Encodes keys as element names and values as simple values with a type attribute that contains an XML type name. Complex names encode the type name with type='___namespace.classname' format followed by a standard xml serialized format. The latter serialization can be slow so it's not recommended to pass complex types if performance is critical.

	ReadXml	Reads the custom serialized format public sealed void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)
	ToXml	Serializes this dictionary to an XML string public string ToXml()
	WriteXml	Serializes the dictionary to XML. Keys are serialized to element names and values as element values.
