Problems with deserializing XML

[Sjaakie]

Hi all,

I used the xsd-util to turn the following XML-file into an .xsd and a class.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Settings>
<ApplicationTit le>...</ApplicationTitl e>
<DebugEmail>... </DebugEmail>
<Proxy>
<Enabled>...</Enabled>
<Url>...</Url>
<Port>...</Port>
<Login>...</Login>
<Password>... </Password>
</Proxy>
<Feeds>
<Feed>
<Description>.. .</Description>
<Url>...</Url>
<DateTimeCorrec tion>...</DateTimeCorrect ion>
<RefreshInterva l>...</RefreshInterval >
</Feed>
<Feed>
<Description>.. .</Description>
<Url>...</Url>
<DateTimeCorrec tion>...</DateTimeCorrect ion>
<RefreshInterva l>...</RefreshInterval >
</Feed>
</Feeds>
</Settings>

But somehow I cannot use the output to deserialize the file. The VS2005
debugger throws the following message:

error CS0030: cannot convert type SettingsFeedsFe ed[] to
SettingsFeedsFe ed

I use this code to deserialize the file:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"Da ta\Settings.xml ", FileMode.Open);
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(Settings) );
settings = (Settings)seria lizer.Deseriali ze(fs);
Below are snippets of the generated cs file and the complete xsd.
Can you help me out?

Finally found the cause of all this misery.
Visual Studio is to blame. Whenever there is a xsd in the project it
renders its own class for it. When I excluded the xsd from the project
and only included the generated cs, the xml deserialised without errors.
