C # XML Serializing a Double [] for a Single Space Element

Question

I am writing an application in C # for serialization and a double or float array for a single XML element, which is a list of values ​​in an array, separated by spaces.

double[] d = new double[4] { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };

for an XML element:

<ArrayOfDouble type="double">1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0</ArrayOfDouble>

I am trying to use XmlSerializer to do serialization. Any help on how to do this would simply be greatly appreciated.

You can try something like the following. My example uses LINQ. If you are using VS2005 or earlier, let me know and I will update the answer.

class Example {
  [XmlIgnore]
  public double[] DoubleValue { get ... set ... }

  public string ArrayOfDouble {
    get { return DoubleValue.Select(x => x.ToString()).Aggregate( (x,y) => x + " " + y); }
    set { Doublevalue = value.Split(' ').Select(x => Double.Parse(x)).ToArray(); }
  }
}
