c# - Wrong data got back from deserializing an object with custom type cast operator -

i have class designed perform uint16. instead of doing: uint16 myprop, can use address myprop, more descriptive.

here's snippet:

public class address {     public uint16 address { get; set; }     private static uint16 add;     public static implicit operator uint16(address address)     {         return add;     }      public static implicit operator address(uint16 i)     {         address temp = new address(i);         return temp;     }      public address(uint16 value)     {         address = value;         add = value;     }      public address() { } } 

then have property: public address myaddress { get; set; }

the rest of code works perfectly.

this class need serialized , de-serialized xml.

after serialization, have in xml

<myaddress>   <address>7</address> </myaddress> 

but after desterilized xml file, cannot myaddress property 7.

maybe weird question... idea?

your conversion operator uint16 broken - it's using static variable, set whichever value happens have been constructed recently. did not think odd ignoring value being passed conversion operator?

it's not clear why you've got static variable @ all, suspect should rid of it, , conversion opperator should be:

public static implicit operator uint16(address address) {     return address.address; } 

you should rename property follow .net naming conventions... , ideally change name anyway, it's weird address type have address property. it's not clear type meant represent anyway, perhaps value @ least better?
