Xml序列化ICollection

我们正在开发一个具有适度复杂模型的项目,其核心类具有许多属性,这些属性是其他相关类的列表。我们在后端使用EF 6(代码优先),并且在遵循如何为该环境构建类的指导之后,我们大量使用了ICollection<T>

public class Product
{
    // a few normal properties
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string Code { get; set; }
    // a large list of ICollection<T> properties
    public virtual ICollection<Rule> Rules { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Update> Updates { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Reference> References { get; set; }
    // more ICollections from here...
}

ICollection<T>引用的几个类本身都有集合(例如RuleICollection<Condition> Conditions),创建了一个相当深的复杂树。

现在我们的模型几乎已经完成,我们已经开始开发业务逻辑和UI(ASP.NET MVC)。系统所需的功能之一是将XML序列化/反序列化以与另一个系统进行交互。但是我们发现XmlSerialization.Serialize()不起作用,抱怨它不能序列化使用接口的东西。

当我们启动整个项目时,知道序列化将成为一个因素,我们构建了一组XSD并使用 xsd.exe 为我们生成类,我们已经修改了巨资。然而,该实用程序放入了一堆本应有助于序列化的标记,我们保留了所有这些:

[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("product", Namespace = "", IsNullable = false)]
public class Product
{
    ....
}

不幸的是,我们遇到了无法序列化的问题,即使我们(理论上)告诉编译器,确实,这个类是可序列化的。每个子类都有一组类似的标签。所以,进行了更多的研究......

提供的解决方案here似乎带来了很多包袱。关于这个主题的其他SO答案似乎只是描述了ICollection<T>Collection<T>之间的区别,没有提供很多关于为什么你想要避免具体类的指导。我正在考虑将所有内容迁移到使用Collection<T>而不是ICollection<T>。如果我这样做,我会为自己带来未来的问题吗?

你试过IXmlSerializable吗?通过此界面,您可以控制写入和读取的内容。我不确定这是否可以帮助您解决问题。
