XmlSerializer and unknown types

Greetings,

I'm using XmlSerializer to read XML file into an object. XML file can
have the following contents:

....
<properties xsi:type="MyType">
<file-path>../../work</file-path>
</properties>
...

If "MyType" is not registered with XmlSerializer then during a
deserializtion process an exception occurs
(System.InvalidOperationException - "The specified type was not
recognized...").

I was wondering if I can make XmlSerializer to skip elements it can not
recognize either by providing extra attributes to properties of my
classes, or by providing default classes (in case "MyType" is not
found). I would like to have more control over the process,
InvalidOperationException is not very graceful in this case.

Thank you.
