deserializing xml

[JohnBeton]

Hi,

I have a problem deserializing xml into objects.
my class structure:
orderHeader
order
orderDetail

orderHeader has an arraylist of [order]
order has an arraylist of [orderDetail]

orderHeader and the arraylist of [order] is filled, but the arraylist of [orderDetail] remains empty.

this is the code i use to deserialize:

Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(GetType(orderHeader))
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\schipUbnOrder.xml", FileMode.Open)
Dim myOrderHeader As orderHeader
myOrderHeader = CType(serializer.Deserialize(fs), orderHeader)

What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks already

John

Have you looked at implementing the ISerializable interface?

It's marked as a .NET internal interface, but so many people use it that it will be made public in .net v2.0

It should save you a lot of work.
