【Serialization】Xml Serialize Helper

using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Microsoft.PatchCreationService.Utilities
{
    public static class XmlSerializeHelper
    {
        public static void Serialize<T>(string fileName, T target)
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
            {
                xmlSerializer.Serialize(stream, target);
            };
        }

        public static T Deserialize<T>(string fileName)
        {
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
            {
                return (T)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(stream);
            };
        }
    }
}
           

And if you want to ignore some fields when serializing an object, please put an  "[XmlIgnore]" attribute above the fields.

For example:

[ XmlIgnore ] public string NewFilePath;
