In the past I created own xml serialization class manually. But now I would like to do it automatically. So I found XSD tool by Microsoft. Unfortunately I face a bug with this utility (CS030 etc.). But next I found looking great open source tool XSD2CODE http://xsd2code.codeplex.com/
Everything was looking great until I spotted that not all my xml data has been deserialized (lol).
My XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MySettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

When I use standard method to deserialize I have error.
MySettings mySettings = new MySettings();
using (TextReader textReader = new StreamReader(@"settings_test.xml"))
{
XmlSerializer xSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MySettings));
mySettings = (MySettings)xSerializer.Deserialize(textReader);
}
When I use Xsd2Code built in deserialize method:
MySettings mySettings = new MySettings();
bool isOk = MySettings.LoadFromFile(@"settings_test.xml", out mySettings);
string pass = mySettings.AdminPassword;
foreach (MySettingsResolutionsResolution item in mySettings.Resolutions)
{
string height = item.Height;
foreach (MySettingsResolutionsResolutionPanel panel in item.Panel)
{
string bckg = panel.Background;
foreach (MySettingsResolutionsResolutionPanelButtonsButton btn in panel.Buttons)
{
string btnBckg = btn.Background;
}
}
}
then I have no errors but not all data are deserialized from xml.
For example:

Can anyone advice me:
- What I did wrong and how to correct this?
- or
- Propose another automated working solution for my XML (above XML).
Thanks a lot in advance for all suggestions.
