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.

public static PropertyBag CreateFromXml(string xml)

public sealed XmlSchema GetSchema()

ReadXml

Reads the custom serialized format

public sealed void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)

ToXml

Serializes this dictionary to an XML string

public string ToXml()

Serializes the dictionary to XML. Keys are serialized to element names and values as element values. An xml type attribute is embedded for each serialized element - a .NET type element is embedded for each complex type and prefixed with three underscores.

public sealed void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)
