XML file to Class

[Laeg]

Is there anyway I can take an XML file and generate a class from it? There are no schemas available for these files, just plain XML.

yes, write the mapping object yourself. the object shouoldn't know about the xml file and the xml shouldn't know about the object.

public class XmlToClassMapper
{
   public MyClass MapFrom(XmlNode node)
   {
      return new MyClass {Property = (type)xmlnode["attribute"];}
   }
}
