How to obtain Enum value from stringified XML?
I have a method that gets as parameter a stringified XML and returns an object with specific fields of the string as its properties.The fields are mapped with class fields.
So far i can get the result (processedObj) with two properties(Id,Title) but not the Enum property . How can i make it recognizable and obtain its current value ?
Main class
email.Content = '<EmailClass><ID>210</ID><Title>Urgent</Title><Date>2020-06-01</Date> <Action>Delete</Action></EmailClass>' Dim processedObj = XmlProcessor.ObjectfromStrXml(Of EmailClass)(email.Content) EmailClass class
<Serializable()> <XmlRoot("EmailClass")> Public Class EmailClass Public ID As String Public Title As String Public Enum Action Send Delete End Enum End Class XmlProcessor class
public static T ObjectfromStrXml<T>(string p_StrXML){ T result; using (MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(p_StrXML))) using (StreamReader stReader = new StreamReader(mStream , Encoding.UTF8)) using (XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(stReader)) { XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)); result = (T)(serializer.Deserialize(reader)); streamReader.Close(); memoryStream.Close(); reader.Close(); } return result; } 
Try code below :
Public Class EmailClass Public ID As String Public Title As String Private PAction As EAction Public Property Action As String Get Return PAction.ToString() End Get Set(value As String) PAction = [Enum].Parse(GetType(EAction), value) End Set End Property Public Enum EAction Send Delete End Enum End Class
