XML deserialization with namespace and multiple nested elements

Question

I am trying to deserialize the following xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ns2:myroot xmlns:ns2="http://jeson.com/">
  <item>
    <name>uno</name>
    <price>1.25</price>
  </item>
  <item>
    <name>dos</name>
    <price>2.30</price>
  </item>
</ns2:myroot>

with these classes

public class item
{
    [XmlElement(Namespace="")]
    public string name { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(Namespace = "")]
    public double price { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot("myroot", Namespace="http://jeson.com/")]  //This was http://jeson.com, no slash at the end.
public class myrootNS
{
    [XmlElement(Namespace = "")]
    public item[] item { get; set; }
}

using this method

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T), "http://jeson.com/");
XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
using (StringReader textReader = new StringReader(xml))
{
    using (XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(textReader, settings))
    {
        return (T)serializer.Deserialize(xmlReader);
    }
}

but somehow I get this error.

System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (2, 2). ---> 
System.InvalidOperationException: <myroot xmlns='http://jeson.com/'> was not expected.

What is the right way to do this? The method works for deserialization without a namespace.

Answer 1

The problem is that the namespace of the myrootNS class is incorrect because it does not match the expected namespace in XML.

    [XmlRoot("myroot", Namespace = "http://jeson.com/")]
    public class myrootNS
    {
        [XmlElement(Namespace = "")]
        public item[] item { get; set; }
    }

Note that the value of the property Namespacehas a finite / . This is my deserialization method:

    static T Deserialize<T>(string xml)
    {
        XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
        using (StringReader textReader = new StringReader(xml))
        {
            using (XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(textReader, settings))
            {
                return (T)serializer.Deserialize(xmlReader);
            }
        }
    }

Answer 2

XmlRoot XmlRootAttribute XmlSerializer, , :

var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(myrootNS), 
                     new XmlRootAttribute                             
                     { 
                         ElementName = "myroot", 
                         Namespace = "http://jeson.com/" 
                     });
