[MonoTouch] Xml Linq bug

[Jon Hopkins]

Hi,

 

I have a class that I use to store a recursive object that is populated
via Linq from Xml. The code is pretty

Simple and works in Visual Studio, but in MT, the sub-objects exist but
are garbage collected and NULL

When you inspect them.

 

using System;

using System.Xml.Linq;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

 

    public class pageObj

    {

        public string bgImage = "";

        ......

        public List<pageObj> subpages;

 

        public pageObj() { }

 

        public pageObj(XElement el)

        {

            if (el.Element("bgimage") != null)

                bgImage = el.Element("bgimage").Value ?? "";

            ...........

            if (el.Element("subpages") != null)

            {

                var myref = subpages;                  // try and keep a
ref

                subpages = el.Element("subpages")

                    .Descendants("subpage")

                   .Select(e => new pageObj(e))

                   .ToList();

            }

 

        }

    }

 

.....

Initialised with

 

pages = xmlDoc

                .XPathSelectElements("magazine/page")

                .Select(e => new pageObj(e))

                .ToList();

 

Thanks,

 

Jon
