Yes sorry I forgot I want to serialize

I suspect you want to serialize,

am I correct?

You can checkout the test I reference in the commit above 70a3674.

But your main issue even if the path annotations where right would be that your List property is marked as private so the serializer would not even pick it up.

The correct path annotations would be as the following snippet:

    [EdiSegment, EdiPath("GIN")]
    public class GIN
    {
        [EdiValue("X(3)", Path = "GIN/0/0")]
        public string Qualifier { get; set; }

        [EdiPath("GIN/1..*")]
        public List<IdentityNumber> IdentityNumbers { get; set; }

        [EdiElement]
        public class IdentityNumber
        {
            [EdiValue("X(35)", Path = "*/*/0")]
            public string Text { get; set; }

        }
    }

1. The list path annotates the list structure not the list item itself so [EdiPath("GIN/1..*")] goes to List<IdentityNumber> prop
2. The structure that contains the values that repeat must be annotated as [EdiElement]. No need to declare a path here since it is defined on the list property.
3. The IdentityNumber element class must have all its component value properties annotated with wildcard paths for the element index so it can be substituted by the serializer. That would look like [EdiValue("X(35)", Path = "GIN/*/0")] for IdentityNumber.Text
4. (Optional) since the IdentityNumber class may be encountered under a different segment context as a reusable element you can also wildcard the segment name. That would make the path on IdentityNumber.Text be annotated like so [EdiValue("X(35)", Path = "*/*/0")]

Sorry I was on holiday.

Just tried out and works like a charm. Thanks a lot.
