I have an observable collection that I am trying to serialize to disk. Received error:
Type 'VisuallySpeaking.Data.GrammarList' with data contract name
'GrammarList:http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/VisuallySpeaking.Data'
is not expected. Consider using a DataContractResolver or add any
types not known statically to the list of known types - for example,
by using the KnownTypeAttribute attribute or by adding them to the
list of known types passed to
DataContractSerializer."} System.Exception
{System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException}
Here is my data object:
namespace VisuallySpeaking.Data
{
[CollectionDataContract]
public class GrammarList : ObservableCollection<GrammarDataObject>
{
public GrammarList() : base()
{
Add(new GrammarDataObject("My Name", "My name is","Assets/SampleAssets/MyName.png"));
Add(new GrammarDataObject("Where is", "Where is",""));
Add(new GrammarDataObject("Dog", "I have a dog","/Assets/SampleAssets/westie.jpg"));
}
}
[DataContract]
public class GrammarDataObject : VisuallySpeaking.Common.BindableBase
{
private string _Name;
private string _SpeakingText;
private string _ImagePath;
public GrammarDataObject(string Name, string SpeakingText, string ImagePath)
{
this.Name = Name;
this.SpeakingText = SpeakingText;
this.ImagePath = ImagePath;
}
[DataMember]
public string Name
{
get { return _Name; }
set
{
if (this._Name != value)
{
this._Name = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("Name");
}
}
}
[DataMember]
public string SpeakingText
{
get { return _SpeakingText; }
set
{
if (this._SpeakingText != value)
{
this._SpeakingText = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("SpeakingText");
}
}
}
[DataMember]
public string ImagePath
{
get { return _ImagePath; }
set
{
if (this._ImagePath != value)
{
this._ImagePath = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("ImagePath");
}
}
}
}
Based on the latest comments, I added a BindableBase here.
namespace VisuallySpeaking.Common
{
[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.WebHostHidden]
[DataContract(IsReference = true)]
public abstract class BindableBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected bool SetProperty<T>(ref T storage, T value, [CallerMemberName] String propertyName = null)
{
if (object.Equals(storage, value)) return false;
storage = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
return true;
}
protected void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
var eventHandler = this.PropertyChanged;
if (eventHandler != null)
{
eventHandler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
}
I assume that I somehow marked my GrammarListclass incorrectly, but it eluded me how to resolve.
UPDATE:
After reporting the error (of course), I added KnowTypeAttribute and it seemed to work:
[CollectionDataContract(Name = "GrammarList"),KnownType(typeof(GrammarList))]
public class GrammarList : ObservableCollection<GrammarDataObject>
Again, thanks to Fresh, I updated CollectionDataContract with Name = "GrammarList", but now the problem occurs when I rehydrate the XML file from disk. The following error message appears:
'GrammarList' 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/VisuallySpeaking.Data'.. "Element" "GrammarDataObject", 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/VisuallySpeaking.Data'.
XML :

XML "GrammarList"? , , . xml, GrammarList , . , - !
, :
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(GrammarDataObject));
GrammarList presto, !!! Fresh.
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(GrammarList));
