How to deserialize XML with multiple nested items?

Question

I have given XML that I can\'t change and I need to deserialize it to a custom class:

Answer 1

Adressess class should be declared this way:

[XmlRoot("Adressess")]
public class Adressess
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "MainAddress")]
    public MainAddress Main { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "AdditionalAddress")]
    public List<AdditionalAddress> AdditionalAddresses { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot("MainAddress")]
public class MainAddress 
{
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot("AdditionalAddress")]
public class AdditionalAddress
{
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
}

Answer 2

Also if the root object type has a namespace, you must use the same namespace for the nested types.

Example:

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "some namespace")]
class Person {...}

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "some namespace")]
class MainAddress{...}
