<dataroot xmlns=''> was not expected...

[Rob R. Ainscough]

I'm using XmlSerializer to read the an XML file into an object collection.
As soon as I .Deserialize(myFileStream) I get the above error:

my XML looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata"
generated="2006-06-09T14:07:13">
<Applications>
<ApplicationID>0</ApplicationID>
.....
<Applications>
</dataroot>

I take it that .NET 2.0 can not deal with all valid XML syntax?

Hi Rob,

If you post your schema, xml, and code snippet, it might be easier for us to
help you. From what you've posted, it looks like you are declaring a
namespace to be used in your Xml file, but never use it. Your <dataroot>
element is in no namespace and no schema is provided for it. officedata
namespace is declared (xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata"), but
never used.
