Examples

The following example adds an UnreferencedObjectEventHandler to an XmlSerializer. The event is handled by the Serializer_UnreferencedObject method. To run the example, cut and paste the following XML into a file named UnrefObj.xml.

Remarks

For more information about the UnreferencedObjectEventArgs class, see the UnreferencedObject event of the XmlSerializer.

The UnreferencedObject event occurs only when you call the Deserialize method.
