XML Deserialize one type into another type

[Adam Benson]

Hi,

If MyClass has a property in it of type OldType and in the new versions of
our libs (long story) OldType is not available. Can I instruct the XML
deserializer to deserialize OldType into NewType?

// Serialized like this
public class MyClass
{
...
public OldType
{ get; set };
...
}

// Deserialize into this assuming the rest of MyClass is unchanged?
public class MyClass
{
...
// OldType was here, I want to deserialize OldType into NewType
public NewType
{ get; set };
...
}

Any pointers gratefully received.

Thanks,

Adam.
