序列化List<>的Asp.net Web API

Question

我正在使用DTO，并且正在尝试返回Asp.net对象的列表。

这就是我所拥有的：

// Wrapper
[DataContract(Namespace = "", Name = "get-applications-result")]
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "", ElementName = "get-applications-result")]
public class GetApplicationsResult : List<ApplicationDTO>
{

}

// DTO object
[DataContract(Namespace = "", Name = "application")]
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "", ElementName = "application")]
public class ApplicationDTO
{
    [DataMember(Name = "application-name")]
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "application-name")]
    public string ApplicationName { get; set; }
}

在Global.asax I集合中

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.UseXmlSerializer = true;

但是，当我将响应从服务器返回给客户端时，它以如下方式返回：

<get-applications-result xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <ApplicationDTO>
        <application-name>Application name</application-name>
    </ApplicationDTO>
</get-applications-result>

如何使<ApplicationDTO/>呈现为<application/>

Answer 1

尝试在ApplicationDTO类上使用XmlTypeAttribute，而不是XmlRootAttribute

[DataContract(Namespace = "", Name = "application")]
[XmlType(TypeName = "application")]
public class ApplicationDTO
{
    [DataMember(Name = "application-name")]
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "application-name")]
    public string ApplicationName { get; set; }
}
