I am receving an XML from a 3rd party with this format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ColorPages version="1">
<Page PrintedPagePosition="0" PDFPagePosition="0" IsColor="True" />
<Ghost PrintedPagePosition="1" PDFPagePosition="1" MayBePrinted="Unprinted" IsColor="False" />
<Page PrintedPagePosition="2" PDFPagePosition="2" IsColor="False" />
<Ghost PrintedPagePosition="3" PDFPagePosition="3" MayBePrinted="Unprinted" IsColor="False" />
<Page PrintedPagePosition="4" PDFPagePosition="4" IsColor="False" />
<Page PrintedPagePosition="5" PDFPagePosition="5" IsColor="True" />
</ColorPages>
I can easily deserialize this if I ignore the Ghost
items, using these classes:
[XmlRoot("ColorPages")]
public class ColorPages
{
public ColorPages() { Items = new List<Page>(); }
[XmlElement("Page")]
public List<Page> Items { get; set; }
}
public class Page
{
[XmlAttribute("PDFPagePosition")]
public string PDFPagePosition { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("IsColor")]
public string IsColor { get; set; }
}
Now, I know I have to create a BasePage
class that is the base class for both Page
and Ghost
, but I'm not sure how to make the deserializer handle this.

[XmlRoot("ColorPages")]
public class ColorPages
{
[XmlElement("Ghost")]
List<Ghost> ghost{ get; set; }
[XmlElement("Page")]
List<Page> page{ get; set; }
}
[XmlRoot("Ghost")]
public class Ghost
{
}
[XmlRoot("Page")]
public class Page
{
}
