How to deserialize with several namespaces

[Julien Sobrier]

Hello,
I'm trying to deserialize an RSS feed that can contains 2 namespaces.
FOr example, it can contain a tag <imageand/or <itunes:images> . I
couldn't figure out how to get both. This simplified extract of code
does not work:

[XmlRoot(Element Name = "rss")]
public class RSSFeed
{
[...]
[XmlElement("ima ge", typeof(Image))]
public Image Picture = new Image();

[XmlElement("ima ge", typeof(Image),
Namespace="http ://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd")]
public Image iPicture = new Image();

public RSSFeed Load(Stream stream)
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(RSSFeed)) ;
return (RSSFeed)serial izer.Deserializ e(new XmlTextReader(s tream));
}
}

I only get the content of <image>, never the content of <itunes:image >.

Any idea what to do?

Thank you

Either show us the XML you are trying to deserialize or try yourself to
use the xsd.exe tool from the .NET framework SDK, using that tool you
can infer a schema first and then infer .NET C# or VB.NET code. That
code can the be used with XmlSerializer or should at least show you
which XML serialization/deserialization attributes you need to apply.
