c# Incorrect XML to deserialize

Question

I have this XML, and i need deserialize but type is incorrect.

<Consumer>
  <Sex type="int">Man</Sex>
</Consumer>

How could i fix out? I like to allow int and string.

Thx in advance,

Answer 1

The only way you are going to accomplish this is by manually parsing the XML.

All of the regular tools are going to throw a fit over the fact that "Man" is by no means an integer.

Answer 2

Please doing folowing action. Load your XML into Visual Studio, click the "Infer Schema" button, and run "xsd.exe /c schema.xsd" to generate the classes. xsd.exe is in the tools folder. Then go through the generated code and make adjustments, such as changing shorts to ints where appropriate.
