Hello Alex,

It is simple to create a custom TransformerProvider deriving from
XmlSerializerTransformer, you only need to override its methods properties,
like Deserialize, Serialize and ConfigurationName.

The tough one is to use it in Application blocks. To use your customized
XmlSerializerTransformer, you need to create your own
XmlSerializerTransformerData class or modify the source code of
XmlSerializerTransformerData.

The dataTransformer is set in app.config file:

<dataTransformer xsi:type="XmlSerializerTransformerData" name="Xml
Serializer Transformer">
       <includeTypes />
</dataTransformer>

If you created customized XmlSerializerTransformerData, you should change
value here.

If you don't want to create a customized XmlSerializerTransformerData, you
can modify its source code so that it will load your own
XmlSerializerTransformer:

XmlSerializerTransformerData.cs:

[XmlIgnore]
       public override string TypeName
       {
           get { return
typeof(XmlSerializerTransformer).AssemblyQualifiedName; }
           set
           {
           }
       }

Replace "XmlSerializerTransformer" with your own XmlSerializerTransformer
here.

Hope this help

Replace " XmlSerializerTransformer " with your own XmlSerializerTransformer

Hello,

How can we create a custom TransformerProvider (deriving from
XmlSerializerTransformer with some minor changes) and make it work with the
Enterprise Library Configuration Application Block?

Thank you!

Best wishes,
Alex.
