返回空值的XML DeSerialization

Question

我在一个web api中有一个POST方法，它有一个RequestAppointment参数。例如：

 // POST: api/RequestAppointment
            public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromBody]RequestAppointment httpRequest)
            {
                var response = Appointment.CreateAppointment(httpRequest);

                return Request.CreateResponse<ResponseRequest>(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Created, response); 
            } 

RequestAppoint类的结构如下：

public partial class RequestAppointment
    {
        public RequestAppointmentAppointmentInformation appointmentInformation { get; set; }      
    }
    public partial class RequestAppointmentAppointmentInformation
    {
        public string AppointmentCcEmail { get; set; }        
        public string ClaimType { get; set; }       
        public RequestAppointmentAppointmentInformationClaimant Claimant { get; set; }

    }
    public partial class RequestAppointmentAppointmentInformationClaimant
    {
        public System.DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }        
    }

可以提出两个请求:第一个请求是：

<RequestAppointment>
  <appointmentInformation>
    <AppointmentCcEmail>x.x.com</AppointmentCcEmail>   
    <ClaimType>A</ClaimType>
    <Claimant>
      <DateOfBirth>1961-12-25</DateOfBirth>
    </Claimant>
  </appointmentInformation>
</RequestAppointment>

第二个请求是：

<RequestAppointment>
  <appointmentInformation>
    <AppointmentCcEmail>x.x.com</AppointmentCcEmail>   
    <ClaimType>A</ClaimType>   
  </appointmentInformation>
</RequestAppointment>

两个请求XML之间的不同之处在于#1有声明人标签，而#2没有。

第二个请求没有，因为当用户从数据接口调用web服务时，没有提供索赔人。而当提供索赔人时，第一个将始终存在。

在我使用Fiddler进行测试时，我的#1请求返回数据。也就是说，它能够反序列化为对象RequestAppointment，而#2请求返回空值。

我能做些什么来解决这个问题？请求将始终以这两种格式出现，并且它们将始终使用相同的模型结构。

我能做些什么来解决这个问题？我在Fiddler中测试了这个场景。

首先，步骤1。如果你有XSD文件，最好的解决方案是使用xsd.exe see haw to use it生成类，如果没有，你可以自己创建XSD并执行步骤1，或者最后你应该做出改变，并指出显式属性使你的类RequestAppointment可序列化。有很多关于它的文章。

这个类是用xsd.exe生成的，我从您的XML中创建了示例模式，只在标记<Claimant>中进行了更改，使其成为可选的，类看起来像这样。注意工具如何生成可选字段Claimant

Answer 2

谢谢你的所有建议。他们太棒了！Seyran的答案真的很棒。但在我的问题中，我通过对所有元素“真”(nil=) (nullable=true)解决了它。我使用xsd为我的请求xml生成类。

谢谢
