Deserializing EDIFACT to XML

[Damian Lewandowski]

Hi,
I have a case in with i reacive EDIFACT APPERAK message and i need to convert it to XML. The XML shoul keep the structural convencion lika a edifact.

<SG1>
    <DOC>
      ...
    </DOC>
</SG1>

My class look like this

And this is working when I want to deserialize file to C# object. When I want to serialize this to XML i reacive below output. As you can see it dont contain segment. How I can manage that? I need to create second class in order to serialize it corectly?

I have not tried this myself but an idea as a workaround to make this work:

Try and create a subclass of the DOC segment like XMLDoc and put that as a readonly property inside the SG1 class only for xml/json. Try to populate the prop via getter lazy instantiation. Then use XMLIgnore on the SG2 C506 as well as any other component properties that would mess up the nesting level using overrides/hide of base class props.

Do you have a eqample how to do it? Im trying my best but I dont know how to implemnt this lazy getter.
