I have a problem with xml serialisation. I tried to run the following code : (this is an example from the microsoft website)
public
class OrderedItem{
public string ItemName; public string Description; public decimal UnitPrice; public int Quantity; public decimal LineTotal; // A custom method used to calculate price per item. public void Calculate(){
LineTotal = UnitPrice * Quantity;
}
}
class
test{
static void Main(string[] args){
run.testrelationsort(); Console.WriteLine("Writing With Stream"); XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(OrderedItem)); OrderedItem i = new OrderedItem();i.ItemName =
"Widget";i.Description =
"Regular Widget";i.Quantity = 10;
i.UnitPrice = (
decimal)2.30;i.Calculate();
// Create a FileStream to write with. Stream writer = new FileStream("Test.xls", FileMode.Create); // Serialize the object, and close the TextWriterserializer.Serialize(writer, i);
writer.Close();
}
}
serializer.Serialize(writer, i); gives an error : There was an error generating the XML document.
when look insite the exeption, I see following innererror : Could not load type 'OrderedItem' from assembly 'Test, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.":"Questionaire.OrderedItem
I use microsoft visual c# express edition.
Does anyone know what goes wrong here.

[Serializable]
public class OrderedItem
{
