Add XML attribute to property when serializing

Right now when I serialize a string with whitespaces I get an empty string when deserializing it

I want to do something like this:

[XmlAttribute("xml:space=preserve")]
public string Category { get; set;}

and get this :

<Category xml:space="preserve">    </Category>

so when I deserialize it with the Xmlserializer I can get the whitespaces back.

That would preserve the whitespace for all the other properties, but I just want to preserve it for this one. – elios264 Oct 03 '14 at 16:39
Curious if you ever got this to work? – Olivier De Meulder Jul 14 '16 at 17:23

@OlivierDeMeulder, I do not remember,, but later I ended up creating my own xml serialization library: https://github.com/elios264/Persist/ – elios264 Jul 14 '16 at 17:58
