Deserialize on Node Name and not Node Type

[GR]

Hi,
I have an xsd that looks something like the following:
<xs:complexType name="CarType">...</xs:complexType>

The CarType then gets used in another xsd in the following way:
<xs:element name="MyCar" type="CarType" />

Thus the xml that we receive from the client looks like:
<MyCar>...</MyCar>

I try to derialise the xml with the following code:
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(CarType));

But it fails as it is expecting xml that looks like:
<CarType>...</CarType>
and not
<MyCar>...</MyCar>

Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks
