Deserialize matchData in sql reporting services 2005

[Smokey Grindel]

I have a XML string that was part of a subscription's matchdata... this is
serialized as XML and I need to deserialize it back to a scheduledefinition
object, I tried the following but it doesnt work! It returns a schedule
definition object that has a start date of 1/1 and a null item recurrence...
any idea why this doesnt work? I saw a lot on SQL 2000 having problems with
this but the ones I tried also didnt work! Thanks!

here is the code I used... this is in VB.NET 2005

Private Shared Function GetScheduleOverrides() As
Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeOverrides

Dim Attoverride As New Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeOverrides

Dim Attrs As New Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributes()

Attrs.Xmlns = False

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.ScheduleDefinition), Attrs)

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.MinuteRecurrence), Attrs)

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.WeeklyRecurrence), Attrs)

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.MonthlyRecurrence), Attrs)

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.MonthlyDOWRecurrence), Attrs)

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.DaysOfWeekSelector), Attrs)

Attoverride.Add(GetType(ReportServer.MonthsOfYearSelector), Attrs)

Return Attoverride

End Function

matchData = matchData.Replace("True", "true")

Dim buffer As New
IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(matchData))

buffer.Position = 0

Dim xmlDeSerializer As New
Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(GetType(ReportServer.ScheduleDefinition),
GetScheduleOverrides)

Return DirectCast(xmlDeSerializer.Deserialize(buffer),
ReportServer.ScheduleDefinition)

End Function
