How to realize forward-compatible deserialization

Hi,

I am aware of an XmlSerializer.Deserialize(Stream) that can easily deserialize an xml into an object.

My question is, I would like to be able to update the xml schema (adding new elements and fields, for example) in the future (perhaps some other applications require added functionality), but would like my deserializer to simply ignore these added fields.

Is there a simple and elegant way of doing this?

Thanks!
Rui
