Xmlserializer.deserialize(); says "there is an error in XML document (2, 2)"

deserialization

Hi guys,

I'm trying to deserialize data from a xml file, and the xml follows an xsd file. I also generated a C# file containing classes from the xsd file.

This code works fine:

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
settings.Schemas.Add(null, xsdfile);
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlfile, settings);
while(reader.Read()); // just to see if an exception occurs

So it makes me think the xml is valid according to the xsd file. (Moreover, I know for sure that it is valid)

But when I replace this line:

while(reader.Read());

With this line:

Dump dump = (Dump)serializer.Deserialize(reader);

I get this non managed exception:

There is an error in XML document (2, 2).
 ---> System.InvalidOperationException: <Dump xmlns=''> wasn't expected

But there is no

<Dump xmlns=''>

in my xml, only a

<Dump>

.

So I'm a bit lost.. Can you help?

Thanks !
