Hi,
i am having trouble deserializing Xml. I get AccountInformation to work but it wont work with the Leauges. The Xml doesnt contain any tag for "Leauges" and i dont want to add that tag to get it to work. Is there any other way to "fix" it?

[Serializable()]
[XmlRoot(ElementName = "XMLSOCCER.COM", Namespace = "")]
public class XMLSOCCER
{
    [XmlArray("Leauge")]
    [XmlArrayItem("Leauge", typeof(Leauge))]
    public Leauge[] Leauges { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "AccountInformation")]
    public string AccountInformation { get; set; }

}

[Serializable()]
public class Leauge
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Id")]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Country")]
    public string Country { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Historical_Data")]
    public string Historical_Data { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "Fixtures")]
    public string Fixtures { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "LiveScore")]
    public string Livescore { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "NumberOfMatches")]
    public int NumberOfMatches { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "LatestMatch")]
    public DateTime LatestMatch { get; set; }
}

XML:

   Confidential info
  </AccountInformation>

Deserialize code:

C#

public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XmlSerializer deserializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XMLSOCCER));
            TextReader reader = new StreamReader(@"C:\Xml.xml");
            object obj = deserializer.Deserialize(reader);
            XMLSOCCER XmlData = (XMLSOCCER)obj;
            reader.Close();
        }

It would probably work if you spellt League correctly, and consistently.

The problem is that your class declaration does not fit the XML format...
What your code is expecting is a group of League nodes enclosed in a League node to form a kind of array:

XML

<XMLSOCCER.COM>
  <Leauge>
    <Leauge>
      ...
    </Leauge>
    <Leauge>
      ...
    </Leauge>
  </Leauge>
  ...
</XMLSOCCER.COM>

Now, you can change the structure of your XML to fit the declarations or change the declarations to fit the XML...
