Deserialize List object

Question

I am trying to de-serialize a XML to object but I am getting stuck at one situation. Can anyone please help me out here.

Change your LData class to this:

[XmlRoot("Level")]
public class LData
{
    [XmlElement("Warp_Blocks")]
    public List WarpBlocks;
}

EDIT:
I don't know why it is not reading your second Warp_Block. The only possible reason I think can be that you are doing something else than what you have posted in the question. Here is the full example:

[XmlRoot("Level")]
public class LData
{
    [XmlElement("Warp_Blocks")]
    public List WarpBlocks;
}
public class LBlock
{
    [XmlAttribute("row")]
    public int row;
    [XmlAttribute("col")]
    public int col;
}
public class WarpBlock
{
    [XmlArray("Warp_Block")]
    [XmlArrayItem("Block", typeof(LBlock), IsNullable = false)]
    public List WarpBlocks;

    public WarpBlock()
    {
        WarpBlocks = new List();
    }
}
public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string test =
            "" +
            "" +
            "  " +
            "        " +
            "            " +
            "            " +
            "        " +
            "        " +
            "            " +
            "            " +
            "        " +
            "  " +
            "";

        byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(test);
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);

        XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof (LData));
        LData data = (LData) s.Deserialize(stream);

        foreach (var a in data.WarpBlocks)
            foreach (var b in a.WarpBlocks)
                Console.WriteLine(b.row + ", " + b.col);

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

It correctly outputs this:

7, 7
2, 7
4, 4
3, 7
