DeSerialization question

[Omars via DotNetMonster.com]

I am Deserializaing an XMl stream (C#). Everything works fine until I get empty tags into my Enums.

For example if I have this field:

Public EnumField myfield;

Then I have:

Public enum EnumField{
Type1,
Type2,
Type3
}
The only accepted type is those three types otherwise I don?t want to deserialize this field. How do I go about doing that? My real problem is the input will have one of the three types or an empty element. An empty element is what causing my deserialization to fail. Is there a way to ignore empty elements or remove them from the xml string? (withoutmajor DOM method)
