The inverse question of How can I transform XML into a List or String[]?.
I have a List<string> of users and want to convert them to the following xml :
<Users>
<User>Domain\Alice</User>
<User>Domain\Bob</User>
<User>Domain\Charly</User>
</Users>
I am currently wrapping this list in a class and use XmlSerializer to solve this but I find this quite heavy ...
So is there a more straightforward solution using Linq to Xml ?
XElement xml = new XElement("Users",
(from str in aList select new XElement("User", str)).ToArray());
This might do it. Not sure if the .ToArray is necessary.
List<User> list = new List<User>();
list.Add(new User { Name = "Domain\\Alice" });
list.Add(new User { Name = "Domain\\Bob" });
list.Add(new User { Name = "Domain\\Charly" });
XElement users = new XElement("Users");
list.ForEach(user => { users.Add(new XElement("User", user.Name)); });
Console.WriteLine(users);
