Deserialization problem --> InvalidOperationException "obect xmlns=> was not expected

[snowie]

I have a simillar problem to what others have had before me. I just can't find the solution in any earlier post here at the scripts (or any other forum).

I am calling a web service that returns a string, the string is an object serialized into XML. The XML returned could look like:

 <object><name>Safir.Vehicles.Vehicle</name><instance>0</instance><members><member><name>Callsign</name><value></value></member><member><name>Identity</name><value>Safir.Vehicles.Enum.Identity.Friend</value></member><member><name>Transient</name></member><member><name>VehicleID</name><value></value></member></members></object> 
 

This is the class for the object:

 
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("xsd", "2.0.50727.42")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()] 
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("object", IsNullable=false)]
public partial class ctObject {
 
private string nameField;
 
private object itemField;
 
private ctObjectMember[] membersField;
 
/// <remarks/>
public string name {
get {
return this.nameField;
}
set {
this.nameField = value;
}
}
 
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("instance", typeof(string), DataType="integer")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("instanceRef", typeof(ctReference))]
public object Item {
get {
return this.itemField;
}
set {
this.itemField = value;
}
}
 
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute("member", IsNullable=false)]
public ctObjectMember[] members {
get {
return this.membersField;
}
set {
this.membersField = value;
}
}
}
 
I try to deserialize the XML string like this:
 
namespace getEntity_Client
{
 
public enum douRootTypes { douObject };
public enum douTypes { valueType, memberType, parameterType, createRoutinesType };
 
public class Program
{
 
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Program prgm = new Program();
prgm.consoleApp();
}
public void consoleApp()
{
ctObject douObject = new ctObject();
 
 
get_Entity getEntityService = new get_Entity();
Console.WriteLine("Reading vehicle from web service...");
//Invoke the web service call. Returns object serialized to XML 
string strXMLEntity = getEntityService.getVehicle(0);
 
//The deserializing part
XmlSerializer ctObjectSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ctObject));
StringReader stream = null;
XmlTextReader reader = null;
stream = new StringReader(strXMLEntity); // read xml data
reader = new XmlTextReader(stream); // create reader
 
this.RootType = douRootTypes.douObject;
douObject = (ctObject)ctObjectSerializer.Deserialize(reader);
ctObject douO = douObject;
....
...
} 
}
}
 
The program throws the error in the second line from the end --> douObject = (ctObject)ctObjectSerializer.Deserialize(reader);
 
 

The error is: System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="There is an error in XML document (1, 2)."
InnerException: { "<object xmlns=>" was not expected." }

I don't get it. In the class def. there is the serializable definition, as well as the root element definition. Why does my serializer not connect ctObject with object ?

Help much appreciated --> totally stuck right now... :-(

Thanks in advance,

I solved this problem myself.

I specified the name space (xmlns) in the serialized XML.
So that the name spaces agreed.

Erik can You illustrate me with more details ?bec i got the same crash as u did.
i appreciate if you help me.
How did you specify the name space exactly?
if you write code sample it can help for my solution as well
thanks
