XmlSerializerDeserializeSafeT(XElement, Type) Method

public static T DeserializeSafe<T>(
	XElement content,
	params Type[]? expectedCustomTypes
)

Public Shared Function DeserializeSafe(Of T) ( 
	content As XElement,
	ParamArray expectedCustomTypes As Type()
) As T

public:
generic<typename T>
static T DeserializeSafe(
	XElement^ content, 
	... array<Type^>^ expectedCustomTypes
)

static member DeserializeSafe : 
        content : XElement * 
        expectedCustomTypes : Type[] -> 'T 

Parameters

content  XElement

XML content of the object.

expectedCustomTypes  Type

The natively not supported types that are expected to present in the XML content. If content does not contain any natively not supported types, then this parameter is optional.

Type Parameters

T

The expected type of the result.

Return Value

This method works for the results of the Serialize(Object, XmlSerializationOptions) method.

expectedCustomTypes must be specified if content contains names of natively not supported types.

T is allowed to be an interface or abstract type but if it's different from the actual type of the result, then the actual type also might needed to be included in expectedCustomTypes.

For arrays it is enough to specify the element type and for generic types you can specify the natively not supported generic type definition and generic type arguments separately. If expectedCustomTypes contains constructed generic types, then the generic type definition and the type arguments will be treated as expected types in any combination.
