C# class to Deserialize XML to...

[BillyZ313]

I am trying to Deserialize an xml to a C# object so i can use it efficently. I have done this with much less complex xml documents so i gave it a shot and it fails on Deserialize call with no good information in the error to track it down. i will first post the xml followed by the class i wrote which fails. please shed some light if you can...

xml:

that was a fairly easy fix, i forgot to put the namespace in the class...
but now i seem to have an issue with the data getting in the fields, they all come back as null at the siteinfo level. The updated class now looks like:

Billy,

You might want to post in the XML forum with a link to this thread and see if any of those guys can offer some assistance.
