Hi,

I want to deserialize an xml file which has to be just in this form

<Basket>
  <Fruit>Apple</Fruit>
  <Fruit>Orange</Fruit>
  <Fruit>Grapes</Fruit>
</Basket>

Out of the examples I read on internet the least possible format I could find was the following

<Basket>
  <FruitArray>
    <Fruit>Apple</Fruit>
  </FruitArray>
  <FruitArray>
    <Fruit>Orange</Fruit>
  </FruitArray>
  <FruitArray>
    <Fruit>Grapes</Fruit>
  </FruitArray>
</Basket>

and that has the following deserialization class for converting it into a class object.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace XMLSerialization_Basket
{
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("Basket", Namespace = "BasketNamespace", IsNullable = false)]
    public class Basket
    {
        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("FruitArray")]
        public FruitArray[] objFruitArray;
    }

    /// <remarks/>
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace = "BasketNamespace")]
    public class FruitArray
    {

        /// <remarks/>
        private string _Fruit;

        public string Fruit
        {

            get { return _Fruit; }
            set { _Fruit = value; }
        }
    }


}

Can I add something like the following directly under top class

    private string _Fruit;

    public string Fruit
    {

        get { return _Fruit; }
        set { _Fruit = value; }
    }

and avoid the array nesting?

my goal is to deserialize an xml of following format

<Basket>
  <Fruit>Apple</Fruit>
  <Fruit>Orange</Fruit>
  <Fruit>Grapes</Fruit>
</Basket>
