IXmlSerializable change xml tag names

Question

I have class with collection as below

public class MyClass:IXmlSerializable
{
    int vesrion;
    private Collection<int> testcoll;
}

to serialize it I have written WriteXML as below

public void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)
{

    writer.WriteAttributeString("Version", this.vesrion.ToString());    

    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Collection<int>));
    serializer.Serialize(writer, Testcoll);
 }

Now output xml have tag "ArrayOfInt" as for Testcoll. But I want to change this name to something different "MyCollection".

Please tell me how to achieve this.

Answer 1

Use an attribute over the field, like this:

[XmlElement(ElementName = "MyCollection")]
private Collection<int> testcoll;

EDIT: @comments, missed those details, see below for answer that works (compiled and tested)

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Collection<int>), new XmlRootAttribute("MyCollection"));
serializer.Serialize(writer, Testcoll);
