xml deserialization - child nodes as value

I am trying to use xml deserialization on an xml like:

XML

<ConfigurationFrag>
  <Fragment>
    <xml>
      <theMore>
        dsadas
      </theMore>
      morestrange
    </xml>
    job {
  </Fragment>
  <Fragment ImportConfigurationFrag="../${Location}scmDefinition.xml"/>

...
and i would like to get:

XML

<xml>
    <theMore>
        dsadas
    </theMore>
    morestrange
</xml>
job {

as a value for the Fragment node?

For this I have created the xml serialization classes: https://github.com/SavaNDragos/Agoc/blob/master/pagox/agoc/Logic/Types/ConfigurationFrag.cs[^]

The problem is that I would like to use the xml deserialization:

C#

var SerializerObj = new XmlSerializer(typeof(EnvironmentDef)); // we will do an xml serialization
          var tempEnvironmentDef = (EnvironmentDef)SerializerObj.Deserialize(reader);

So basically is there a way to deserialize an xml so can child nodes are just values?

Your XML data is a bit weird, but if that is the way you want I suggest that you wrap the fragment in a CDATA section. That way an XML parser will ignore the fragment.

XML

<ConfigurationFrag>
    <Fragment>
        <![CDATA[
            <xml>
                <theMore>
                    dsadas
                </theMore>
                morestrange
            <xml>
            job {
        ]]>
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment ImportConfigurationFrag="../${Location}scmDefinition.xml"/>
</ConfigurationFrag>

This should make it easier to use the standard XML serializer.
