I've tried it several ways, including the way you have outlined in your article, but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I compile, I get messages for each private property in the class: Could not find schema information for the element 'MyProperty' And when I run, I get: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1). error CS0200: Property or indexer 'MyProperty' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only Isn't that weird? I seem to read everywhere that I should be able to deserialize data from my XML file and populate the private members of this class, but I haven't yet found a way to make it work with DataContractSerializer.

Isn’t that weird? I seem to read everywhere that I should be able to deserialize data from my XML file and populate the private members of this class, but I haven’t yet found a way to make it work with DataContractSerializer.
