I have an XSD and a class generated by XSD.EXE I'm using to deserialize an XML document. For some reason, a node fairly deep into the XML document is failing to deserialize, and I can't find why it would be doing so...

Here's how I'm deserializing:

XmlSchema schema = XmlSchema.Read(XmlReader.Create("X12_00401_271.xsd"), null);
XmlSerializer _xSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(X12_00401_271));
using (XmlReader _xReader = XmlReader.Create(path))
{
  _xResponse = _xSerializer.Deserialize(_xReader) as X12_00401_271;
}

The relevant part of the XSD looks something like:

<xs:element name="TS271A1_2110C_Loop">
<xs:annotation>
  <xs:appinfo>
    <b:recordInfo structure="delimited" delimiter_type="inherit_record" 
    field_order="infix" count_ignore="yes" child_delimiter="default" 
    trigger_field="EB_SubscriberEligibilityOrBenefitInformation_TS271A1_2110C/EB01__EligibilityOrBenefitInformation" 
    trigger_value="1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y MC CB" 
    notes="Subscriber Eligibility or Benefit Information" />
  </xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>

    <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="LSLoop_2110C">

        <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" ref="LS_Header_TS271A1_2110C" />
          <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" ref="TS271A1_2120C_Loop" />
          <xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" ref="LE_Trailer_TS271A1_2110C" />
        </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

Where 'LS_Header_TS271A1_2110C' thru 'LE_Trailer_TS271A_2110C' are failing to deserialize

Those three snippets are:

For those familiar with the standard, this is specifically a HIPAA 271 and I'm failing to deserialize the 2120C loop. For the rest of you, I don't think that matters to the specific problem...

I've verified the node I need exists both in the XSD and the actual XML file I'm parsing. Any suggestions on where to look next?

A: 

I've run into this too. From what I can see, the XmlSerializer does not support namespaces on child nodes. You have to explicitly set their namespace to "" (using xmlns="" or suchlike).
