Will implementing IXMLSerializable create a serializer DLL file in my Temp directory?
.net, .net-2.0, ixmlserializable
Solution
Using IXmlSerializable won't keep it from creating an assembly. In order to do that, in the project properties, look:
- On the Build tab for C#, there's a "Generate Serialization Assembly" dropdown.
- On the Compile tab for VB.NET, there's an "Advanced Compile Options" button. Click it, and you'll find a "Generate Serialization Assemblies" dropdown.
In both cases, you can set it to "Off" and manually use the XML Serializer Generator Tool (Sgen.exe) to generate your assemblies.
Problem
Normally, when using the XMLSerializer to automagically serialize an ISerializable object, a .dll file is generated on C:\WINDOWS\Temp. If I implement IXMLSerializable instead, where I'm telling it how to serialize / deserialize, will it also generate this DLL? I have a very simple class to serialize, and I'm trying to avoid this automatic generation of files, for permissions reasons. Any ideas? Thanks.
