DeregisterAttributeValueSerializer(string, string)

RegisterAttributeValueSerializer(string, string, IAttributeValueSerializer)

Registers an attribute value serializer for serializing attribute values to XML. Attribute value serializers are identified by attribute name and name format, both of which are optional.

If an attribute name and name format are specified then the serializer matches on both. If an attribute name is not specified then the serializer matches on attribute name format. If an attribute name format is not specified then the serializer matches on attribute name. If neither an attribute name nor name format are specified then the serializer matches all.

If there's no registered attribute value serializer then the default serializer is used and the attribute value is assumed to be a string.

Declaration

public static void RegisterAttributeValueSerializer(string name, string nameFormat, IAttributeValueSerializer attributeValueSerializer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	name	The attribute name.
string	nameFormat	The attribute name format.
IAttributeValueSerializer	attributeValueSerializer	The attribute value serializer.
