XmlSerializerDeserializeSafeT(XmlReader, Type) Method

public static T DeserializeSafe<T>(
	XmlReader reader,
	params Type[]? expectedCustomTypes
)

Public Shared Function DeserializeSafe(Of T) ( 
	reader As XmlReader,
	ParamArray expectedCustomTypes As Type()
) As T

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

static member DeserializeSafe : 
        reader : XmlReader * 
        expectedCustomTypes : Type[] -> 'T 

Parameters

reader  XmlReader

An XmlReader object to be used for the deserialization.

expectedCustomTypes  Type

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

Type Parameters

T

The expected type of the result.

Return Value

The reader position must be before the content to deserialize.

expectedCustomTypes must be specified if the serialization stream 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.
