[mapguide-users] MgByteReader and XmlSerializer question

[Maksim Sestic]

Is it possible to use System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer class to
instantiate actual type returned as XML by MgByteReader.ToString function? I
see people are using DOM to iterate through resulting XML and I simply can't
get why, since there are specific OSGeo.MapGuide type definitions.
Deserialization should go like:

(prepare m_MemoryStream out of MgResourceService.EnumerateResources...)

Dim m_Maps As MgMapCollection
Dim m_XmlSerializer As XmlSerializer = New
XmlSerializer(GetType(MgMapCollection))
m_Maps = CType(m_XmlSerializer.Deserialize(m_MemoryStream), MgMapCollection)
For Each m_Map As MgMap In m_Maps
   Console.WriteLine(m_Map.Name)
Next

Or am I missing something?

Regards,
Maksim Sestic
