Xml and using a custom class?

I don't understand how to make something like this work:

<bookstore>
<Book>
<author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>
</Book>
</bookstore>


I tried doing the following:

[XmlElement]
public Book book;
public int test;


public class Book
{
public string author;
}


but book is always null, test is not however. I guess [XmlElement] is incorrect but I don't know what to use.

 

It's probably looking for <book> not <Book>. You can specify the element name

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. [XmlElement("Book")]
3. public Book book;
4.  

 

That's probably it. I can't believe I missed that lol.

edit: yes that was the problem. Thanks a lot, I just wish I didn't waste hours on such a simple mistake :/.
