Section.NullFlavor = NullFlavor.NoInformation issue #12

Closed MikeCheel closed 6 years ago

MikeCheel commented 6 years ago

I have Section objects that I am setting the Code, Title, and Text properties on.

When I have entries for the section, I create the Entry objects and add them to the Section object. At document creation time everything looks good and validates.

When I do NOT have entries I am setting section.NullFlavor = NullFlavor.NoInformation; and all I get at document creation time for the section is: <section xsi:nil="true" nullFlavor="NI" />

The problems are:

When I validate I get

Attribute 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance,nil' must not appear on element 'section', because the {nillable} property of 'section' is false.

The other properties (like Code, Title and Text) are not rendered to the xml.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Typically when NullFlavor is set, sub-elements should not be rendered (as the parent is null). I think you can suppress the generation of XSI:NIL by using the SettingsType.SuppressXsiNil setting when you create the formatter:

formatter.Settings = formatter.Settings | SettingsType.SuppressXsiNil;

I figured it out. I needed to set the Entry to NullFalvor.NoInformation (and the other stuff doesn't get nil'd) and not the Section. Thanks for your assistance!
