c# - Renaming xml element of generic type only for specific type parameter -

if write this,

class program {     static void main(string[] args)     {         using (filestream s = new filestream("output.xml", filemode.create))         {             new xmlserializer(typeof(data<item>)).serialize(s, new data<item>());         }     } }  [xmltype(typename = "content")] public class item { }  public class data<t> { } 

output.xml be

<?xml version="1.0"?> <dataofitem xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" /> 

but want "dataofitem" "dataofcontent". there way changing data class?

not wanted, can provide custom root name when create xmlserializer. this:

var xmltypeattr = typeof(item).getcustomattributes(true).oftype<xmltypeattribute>().firstordefault(); var customroot = new xmlrootattribute("dataof" + xmltypeattr.typename); new xmlserializer(typeof(data<item>), customroot).serialize(s, new data<item>());
