Read Object Data from an XML File

This example reads object data that was previously written to an XML file using the XmlSerializer class.

public class Book
    {
        public String title;
    }       

public void ReadXML()
{
    System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer reader = 
        new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(Book));
    System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(
        @"c:\temp\SerializationOverview.xml");
    Book overview = new Book();
    overview = (Book)reader.Deserialize(file);

    Console.WriteLine(overview.title);

}
