XmlSerializer and different field in class and xml attribute

I have xml with several items, for example:

<TestObject>
  <TestElement1/>
  <TestElement2/>
</TestObject>
<TestObject>
  <TestElement1/>
  <TestElement2/>
</TestObject>

Also I have class:

class TestClass {
  public int TestElement1 { get; set; }
  public int Element { get; set; }
}

If I do:

XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Te开发者_运维百科stClass>));
List<TestClass> list = (List<TestClass>)s.Deserialize("myXml.xml");

After it I get list with objects TestClass, but property Element didn't set. How I must change serialization, if I want to set TestElement2 in Element field?

You need to decorate the Element property with an [XmlElement] attribute:

[XmlRoot("TestObject")]
class TestClass {
    public int TestElement1 { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("TestElement2")]
    public int Element { get; set; }
}

Try XmlElement attribute

public class TaxRates{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "TaxRate")]
    public decimal ReturnTaxRate;
}
