How to deserialize element with attribute

Question

I'm consuming a RESTful web service by using RESTSharp. One of the XML elements looks like the following:

<temp_c units="°C">7.9</temp_c>

And the C# class POCO is as follows:

public class Test
{
    public TempC temp_c { get; set; }
}

public class TempC
{
    public string units { get; set; }
    public string value { get; set; }
}

When I use RESTSharp, I get the TempC object populated with units but not with an actual value; e.g. 7.9. The value is NULL.

Fixed the problem by changing the property value to Value.

You need to put [XmlText] annotation in that case

public class TempC
    {
        public string units { get; set; }

        [XmlText]
        public string value { get; set; }
    }

This will tell De-serializer to get that from body of tag.
