Description
I need to process some XML input which has HTML code in some tags. For these tags I want the raw content to process it later. I followed this answer on Stackoverflow and used XmlElement as member which works fine in most cases. The only problem I'm facing are self closing tags.
Reproduction Steps
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Root));
var obj1 = serializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(@"<Root><Description><p>test</p></Description><Name>Test</Name></Root>"));
// Description: "Element, Name=\"p\""
// Name: "Test"
var obj2 = serializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(@"<Root><Description></Description><Name>Test</Name></Root>"));
// Description: null
// Name: "Test"
var obj3 = serializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(@"<Root><Description/><Name>Test</Name></Root>"));
// Description: "Element, Name=\"Name\""
// Name: null
}
public class Root
{
public XmlElement Description { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
}Expected behavior
obj2 and obj3 should be equal.
Actual behavior
obj1 and obj2 are ok (obj2.Description == "" would be better) but in obj3 the Description member is greedy and contains the Name part.
Regression?
