Dictionary/List serialization issue/question

Alright @c0deExplorer it took some time here to brush off the dust but I am happy to say that what you are after is possible. Please check out this test/configuration:

https://github.com/ExtendedXmlSerializer/home/blob/a4f8a3509ed246bac0ab37c54ecc9e357055d14a/test/ExtendedXmlSerializer.Tests.ReportedIssues/Issue604Tests.cs

You will find that it emits the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Issue604Tests-Subject>
	<Store>
		<Entry>
			<Key>Hello</Key>
			<Value>true</Value>
		</Entry>
		<Entry>
			<Key>World</Key>
			<Value>false</Value>
		</Entry>
	</Store>
</Issue604Tests-Subject>

So the extra attributes are removed and Item has been renamed to Entry.

Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will assist,

Thank you so much @Mike-E-angelo. Never knew about InspectedPropertyTypes. It did do the trick!! Great work! I'll work on it and get back if I see anything different. Again, Thanks a ton for your wonderful support and really appreciate your time spend to investigate this.

Hi @c0deExplorer thank you for writing in. For my edification on the first question can you provide the container configuration code you used to generate the XML in question? This will assist me in knowing how to proceed.

For the second question, I do not believe this is easily possible, but I will look into this for you.

It's been a while since I have been in this project so I will have to brush off the dust here and get re-acclimated. 😇

Thanks much @Mike-E-angelo . Here's the config I am trying out as of now:

    IExtendedXmlSerializer serializerTest = new ConfigurationContainer()
                                              .EnableImplicitTyping(typeof(Dictionary<string, TestType>),
                                                                    typeof(List<Subject>), typeof(Subject))
                                              .Create();
