Create repeating elements in xml document from datatable

[chester]

Hi all,

I am creating an XML document from a schema. I used xsd.exe to create a class file from the xsd. I have a datatable that I am using to write the xml with. Below is a sample with only first name and surname.

As expected though, 5 nodes are created, the problem is that it only writes the last item from the datatable. What do I need to change?

XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
 
                XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(UKFATCASubmissionFIReport));
                TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(destinationPath);
                UKFATCASubmissionFIReport fatcaSub = new UKFATCASubmissionFIReport();
                fatcaSub.SchemaVersion = schemaVersion;
 
                //Initialize classes and objects
                #region classes and objects
 
                AccountDataType accountData = new AccountDataType();
                AccountHolderCodeType accountHolderType = new AccountHolderCodeType();

                //Monetary type
                moneyType.Value = moneyTypeValue;

Create a list of the objects that you want to serialize, for each datarow add an object to the list and serialize that list.
