To deserialize an XML file you need a suitable class from which you can create an object to house the XML data. Here's a possible class (I've called it User but you can call it whatever you like). Notice that this needs to be declared public: [XmlRoot(Root)] public class User { public string name {get; set;} public string UserName {get; set;} public string Cloud {get; set;} public string CloudUserName {get; set;} public string CloudKey {get; set;} } The code to deserialize the file into an object of this class would then be something like this: using System.IO; using System.Xml.Serialization; // .... XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(User)); User u; using (Stream s = File.OpenRead(appStartPath)) { u = (User)xs.Deserialize(s); }
