I want to serialize an object using XmlSerializer and want it to use the order defined in a XSD.
For example I have an XSD with element like this:
...
<xs:element name="Screen" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Yaxis" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="ab:AxisType"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
...
<xs:complexType name="AxisType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:group ref="ab:IntervalSegmentGroup" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:element name="LastPoint" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="ab:PointType" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:group name="IntervalSegmentGroup">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Point" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="ab:PointType"/>
<xs:element name="Interpolation" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:group>
<xs:complexType name="PointType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Relative" type="xs:decimal" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="Absolute" type="xs:decimal" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
...
I have then used XSD.exe to create stub-classes for this. Then I create objects from these claseses and populate them with data. And then I serialize them with an XMLSerializer.
The result I WANT to get is something like this:
...
<Yaxis>
<Point>
<Relative>0</Relative>
<Absolute>0</Absolute>
</Point>
<Interpolation>linear</Interpolation>
<Point>
<Relative>0.456</Relative>
<Absolute>100</Absolute>
</Point>
<Interpolation>linear</Interpolation>
<Point>
<Relative>0.645</Relative>
<Absolute>342</Absolute>
</Point>
<Interpolation>linear</Interpolation>
<LastPoint>
<Relative>1</Relative>
<Absolute>3920</Absolute>
</LastPoint>
</Yaxis>
...
But what i get is:
...
<Yaxis>
<Point>
<Relative>0</Relative>
<Absolute>0</Absolute>
</Point>
<Point>
<Relative>0.456</Relative>
<Absolute>100</Absolute>
</Point>
<Point>
<Relative>0.645</Relative>
<Absolute>342</Absolute>
</Point>
<Interpolation>linear</Interpolation>
<Interpolation>linear</Interpolation>
<Interpolation>linear</Interpolation>
<LastPoint>
<Relative>1</Relative>
<Absolute>3920</Absolute>
</LastPoint>
</Yaxis>
...
When I try to validate the XML against the XSD it will fail, as it doesn't confirm to the order Point, Interpolation, Point...
What am I doing wrong? Can I control this in some kind of way?
