I'm trying to deserialize some XML (returned from a web service) into an object that I created using XSD.exe. The XSD executable created a .CS file with a different partial class for each parent node in the XML.

For Example, the beginning of the XML looks like this (why can't I post xml here? sorry, this is ugly):

<disclaimer><notificationDescription>Additional charges will apply.</notificationDescription></disclaimer><quote><masterQuote></masterQuote></quote>

And the Class generated by the XSD.exe has a partial class named disclaimer with a get; set; string for notificationDescription. And another partial class for quoteMasterQuote with the corresponding child nodes as public strings.

How can I deserialize this XML file into multiple classes? I found this code, but it seems like it'll only work for one object.

 public static PricingResponse2 DeSerialize(string _xml)
{
    PricingResponse2 _resp = new PricingResponse2();
    StringReader _strReader = new StringReader(_xml);
    XmlSerializer _serializer = new XmlSerializer(_resp.GetType());
    XmlReader _xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(_strReader);
    try
    {
        _resp = (PricingResponse2)_serializer.Deserialize(_xmlReader);
        return _resp;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        string _error = ex.Message;
        throw;
    }
    finally
    {
        _xmlReader.Close();
        _strReader.Close();
        _strReader.Dispose();
    }
}

This is the first time I've tried this, so I'm a little lost.
