How to serialize this xml using DataContract in c#? The xml data is as follows, soap header and its stuff is handled.

I already create a base class and it can parse some of data in xml, but the exception will occur when encountered with ns1:fields.

    public class SakeRequestBase
    {
        [DataMember(Name = SakeXmlLable.GameID)]
        public string GameID { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = SakeXmlLable.SecretKey)]
        public string SecretKey { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = SakeXmlLable.LoginTicket)]
        public string LoginTicket { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = SakeXmlLable.TableID)]
        public string TableID { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = SakeXmlLable.RecordID)]
        public uint RecordID { get; set; }
    }

The inherited class:

    public class SakeGetMyRecordsRequest : SakeRequestBase
    {
    }

How to write class members for SakeGetMyRecordsRequest to handle the data?

Answer 1

You should try making a class Field that has a single List<string> in it. Then put a property of type Field in your SakeGetMyRecordsRequest. With all the necessary naming attributes, of course.

You can use tools like https://xmltocsharp.azurewebsites.net/ to get serializable classes for various XMLs. (I'd be wary of posting sensitive info there but it's still useful)
