Heavily inspired by How to Deserialize XML document, I think this should do the trick.
I generated the class as follows:
- Save the Xml server reply to disk (c:\temp\reply.xml)
- xsd c:\temp\reply.xml /o:"c:\temp"
- xsd c:\temp\reply.xsd reply_app1.xsd /classes /o:"c:\temp"
- Add reply_app1.cs to your project.
This resulted in:

Yes, it is auto generated, but I figured that would be the easiest way to create a class that you would be able to deserialize. Which you can do like this:
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Data/reply.xml"));
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(Envelope));
Envelope envelope = (Envelope)serializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(document.OuterXml));
Which correctly picked up the Detail
property. In your case you would need to use the XmlReader
like you were doing before instead of my new StringReader(document.OuterXml)
, and wrap it in a using block, etc.
Keep in mind that some of the property names of the deserialized object won't match up exactly with what you had in your SoapFault
class (it's now called Envelope
, for example), and some of the properties are expressed as arrays rather than single objects, but you could probably tweak the Xsd to suit if need be.
