Problem using XMlSerializer.D eserialize

[PSingh]

Hi,

I know this is a frequently asked question but have tried several combinations and cant seem to figure this out.

I am serializing my object as follows:
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(d ata.GetType());
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();

XmlSerializerNa mespaces namespaces = new XmlSerializerNa mespaces();
namespaces.Add( "", "");
serializer.Seri alize(writer, data, namespaces);
string output = writer.ToString ();

This produces the desired XML - as in one with no namespaces in it.

Now when I try to deserialize this object as follows:
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(d ata.GetType());
StringReader reader = new StringReader(da ta);
System.Xml.XmlT extReader xmlReader = new System.Xml.XmlT extReader (reader);
// I have tried both with and without the following line
xmlReader.Names paces = false;
object returnValue = serializer.Dese rialize(xmlRead er);

This throws an error: There is an error in XML document and the message is something on the lines of My object's root node = xmlns was not expected.

I dont understand why this is happenign because my root node does not contain any xmlns attribute.

Also, the solution of defining namespace on class level will not work for me as this is a generic class library.

Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks
