How to add namespace prefix for IXmlSerializable type

Question

I have a following class definition

Answer 1

Do you need to use XmlSerializer? If not, try following code:

Person.cs

Add new method:

public void Serialize(XmlWriter writer)
{
    writer.WriteStartDocument();
    writer.WriteStartElement("My", "Person", "MyNamespace");
    writer.WriteElementString("My", "FirstName", "MyNamespace", FirstName);
    writer.WriteElementString("My", "LastName", "MyNamespace", LastName);
    writer.WriteEndElement();
    writer.WriteEndDocument();
}

Usage

var person = new Person { FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe" };
person.Serialize(new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out));
