Hi lan,
What is the difficulty of this deserialize?
After you deserialize the xml file, you should have got the class object of
all the values. Then you can use reflection to get the corresponding values
by property name.
Also, you can do your own deserialize to store the xml key/value pair into
hashtable.

| Thanks for your help. I would create a hashtable however the file I am
| reading in is a xml file and I am not looping through it. I am just
| deserializing it. I am using the GetField().GetValue to retrieve the
value.
| Thanks again.
