Dererialising XML into an Object

[Badgers]

Hi,

I am wanting to deserialise xml into a series of classes.

For eg;

<PurchaseOrder xmlns:xsi="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:xsd="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<ShipTo Name="Teresa Atkinson">
<Line1>1 Main St.</Line1>
<Line2>Line2</Line2>
<City>AnyTown</City>
<State>WA</State>
<Zip>00000</Zip>
<Test>Test1</Test>
</ShipTo>

[XmlRoot("PurchaseOrder", IsNullable = false)]
public class PurchaseOrder
{
public Address ShipTo;
}

The deserialsation doesn't work because I have not specified a namespace on the PurchaseOrder object. The xml doesn't contain a namespace...

How can you get around this, could I create a DTD from the XML and reference it as a seperate file or something....?

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Not sure if this will get you what you want. but a dataset can be loaded directly from XML.. you can also use it to generate a schema document.

Sorry not what i would call a complete answer, i havn't got a heap of time to think about this..

The dataset has a ReadXml method and a WriteXmlSchema method. That you might find usefull.
