C# - how to to Deserialize XML with Mixed Content using XmlSerializer
I need help solving Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I am trying to deserialize an XML document that contains mixed content (text and child elements) using `XmlSerializer` in C#. The XML structure looks like this: ```xml <root> <item> Text content before <subitem>child</subitem> text content after. </item> </root> ``` My corresponding C# classes are set up as follows: ```csharp [XmlRoot("root")] public class Root { [XmlElement("item")] public Item Item { get; set; } } public class Item { [XmlText] public string TextContent { get; set; } [XmlElement("subitem")] public string SubItem { get; set; } } ``` When I attempt to deserialize this using the following code: ```csharp var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Root)); using (var reader = new StringReader(xmlInput)) { var result = (Root)serializer.Deserialize(reader); } ``` I encounter an exception: ``` Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: There is an behavior in XML document (1, 12). ``` The question seems to stem from the mixed content not being handled correctly. I've tried using the `[XmlAnyElement]` attribute on the `Item` class but that leads to a different structure. The `TextContent` property isn't being populated as I expected. Is there a proper way to handle mixed content with `XmlSerializer`, or would I need to switch to a different approach, such as using `XDocument` for manual parsing? Any insights would be appreciated! For context: I'm using Csharp on Windows. Thanks in advance! This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. Is there a better approach? Any examples would be super helpful. I'd be grateful for any help.
