      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> belongs to a family of attributes that controls how the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer" /> serializes or deserializes an object. For a complete list of similar attributes, see <format type="text/html"><a href="414b820f-a696-4206-b576-2711d85490c7">Attributes That Control XML Serialization</a></format>.</para>
      <para>You can apply the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> to any public read/write member that returns an array, or provides access to one. For example, a field that returns an array of objects, a collection, an <see cref="T:System.Collections.ArrayList" />, or any class that implements the <see cref="T:System.Collections.IEnumerable" /> interface.</para>
      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> supports polymorphism--in other words, it allows the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer" /> to add derived objects to an array. For example, suppose a class named Mammal is derived from a base class named Animal. Further suppose that a class named MyAnimals contains a field that returns an array of Animal objects. To allow the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer" /> to serialize both the Animal and Mammal type, apply the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> to the field twice, each time specifying one of the two acceptable types.</para>
      <block subset="none" type="note">
        <para>You can apply multiple instances of the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> or <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute" /> to specify types of objects that can be inserted into the array.</para>

          <attribution license="cc4" from="Microsoft" modified="false" />
          <para>The following table lists the XML Schema simple data types with their .NET equivalents.</para>
          <para>For the XML Schema base64Binary and hexBinary data types, use an array of <see cref="T:System.Byte" /> objects, and apply an <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> with the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.DataType" /> property set to "base64Binary" or "hexBinary", as appropriate. For the XML Schema time and date data types, use the <see cref="T:System.DateTime" /> type and apply the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> with the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.DataType" /> set to "date" or "time".</para>
          <para>For every XML Schema type that is mapped to a string, apply the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> with its <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.DataType" /> property set to the XML Schema type. However, this does not change the serialization format, only the schema for the member.</para>
          <block subset="none" type="note">
            <para>The property is case-sensitive, so you must set it exactly to one of the XML Schema data types.</para>

            <para>Passing binary data as an XML element is more efficient then passing it as an XML attribute.</para>

          <para>An XML document can contain hierarchies of XML elements. To represent such a hierarchy, an array of arrays is used. In such an array, each index represents a level in the hierarchy. Therefore, the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.NestingLevel" /> property is only used when applying an <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> to a field that returns an array of arrays.</para>
          <para>When applying the attribute, specify which hierarchy level the attribute affects by setting the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.NestingLevel" />. The first index always has the value of 0; therefore it is optional to set its <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.NestingLevel" /> --an <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> without a <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.NestingLevel" /> value is applied to the first array index.

          <para>Use the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute.Type" /> property to specify an overridden type for a public field or public read/write property value.</para>
          <para>If a field or property returns an array of type <see cref="T:System.Object" />, apply multiple instances of the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" /> to the field or property. For each instance, set the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute.Type" /> property to a type of object that can be inserted into the array.</para>
          <para>If an array contains only primitive types, you do not need to apply the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute" />. By default, the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer" /> generates a series of elements, each with the same element name, for each value, but the type of each element is set to the XML Schema data type. For example, the following code: </para>
          <code> ' Visual Basic code
 Public Class Arrays
    Public XSDTypes ()As Object= New Object(){"one", 2, 3.0}
 End Class
 // C# code
 public class MyArray{
    // No XmlArrayItemAttribute is applied.
    public object[] XSDTypes= new object[]{"one", 2, 3.2};
 }</code>
          <para>results in this XML: </para>
          <code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
 &lt;Arrays xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
   &lt;XSDTypes&gt;
     &lt;Object xsi:type="xsd:string"&gt;one&lt;/Object&gt;
     &lt;Object xsi:type="xsd:int"&gt;2&lt;/Object&gt;
     &lt;Object xsi:type="xsd:double"&gt;3&lt;/Object&gt;
   &lt;/XSDTypes&gt;
 &lt;/Arrays&gt;</code>
          <para>However, if you specify the <see cref="P:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute.Type" /> property for each primitive type, the element name for each value is generated using the .NET type name. For example this code: </para>
          <code> ' Visual Basic code
 Public Class Arrays
    &lt;XmlArrayItem(GetType(String)), _
    XmlArrayItem(GetType(Integer)), _
    XmlArrayItem(GetType(Double))&gt; _
    Public PrimitiveTypes () As Object = New Object(){"one", 2, 3.0}
 End Class
 // C# code
 public class Arrays{
    [XmlArrayItem(typeof(string))]
    [XmlArrayItem(typeof(int))]
    [XmlArrayItem(typeof(double))]
    public object [] PrimitiveTypes = new object[]{"one", 2, 3.0};
 }</code>
          <para>results in this XML: </para>
          <code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
 &lt;Arrays xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
   &lt;PrimitiveTypes&gt;
     &lt;string&gt;one&lt;/string&gt;
     &lt;int&gt;2&lt;/int&gt;
     &lt;double&gt;3&lt;/double&gt;
   &lt;/PrimitiveTypes&gt;
 &lt;/Arrays&gt;</code>
