point to a class name with a string from xml

[Ariadne]

Hi, is there a way to point with a string to a specific class? I want deserialize a XML-Stream into a structure of variables. I tried with Score = (score)serializer.Deserialize(reader); but all members of Score are null. I suppose that the xml-file is not compatible with seriliation. So I want do the deserialisation by my own code. This leeds to the question above: If I read an XML-element, how can I assign the XML-attributes to the approprieate element-class?

You can use the XmlElementAttribute and XmlAttributeAttribute to map specific XML elements and attributes to specific object fields and properties. See also: Introducing XML Serialization[^] -Phil

Class names are PascalCase and variable names are camelCase: Score score = (Score)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
