Deserialize an ArrayList

1.Deserialize XML into ArrayList

I am trying to take an XML snipit like the following:

<project>
   <stuff1/>
   <stuff2/>
</project>
<project>
   <stuff1/>
   <stuff2/>
</project>
<project>
   <stuff1/>
   <stuff2/>
</project>

And deserialize it into a simple ArrayList. I would prefer to do this
without a special class to deserialize into, I do have the "project"
class setup. I would also prefer to not wrap these items in a root
node, but can easily do that, and have tried.

Here is my best attempt so far:

   XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer( typeof( project) );
   ArrayList projects = new ArrayList();
   XmlDocument pxml = new XmlDocument();
   pxml.LoadXml(inputXml);
   foreach (XmlNode project in pxml.ChildNodes) 
   {
      if (!(project is XmlElement)) 
      {
         continue;
      } 
      projects.Add(xs.Deserialize(new XmlNodeReader(project)));
   }

In most of my attepts I get the following error:

<project xmlns="> was not expected

Thanks,

2.Problem deserializing ArrayList.

I have a wierd one that I hope somebody can help with.

I'm trying to serialize an ArrayList of items. I am successfully serializing
other ArrayLists of strings, but for some reason this code will serialize
*out* the CommentLines property, but the XmlSerializer seems to ignore them
when serializing them back in. Here is my code:

[Serializable]
public class PatchArchiveStats
{
  ArrayList  m_arrDiffItems = new ArrayList();

  [XmlArrayItem( "DiffItem", typeof(DiffItem) )]
  public ArrayList DiffItems {
    get {
      return m_arrDiffItems;
    }
    set {
      m_arrDiffItems = value;
    }
  }
}

[Serializable]
public class DiffItem
{
  string    m_strComment; // A multi-line comment.

  [XmlArray("CommentLines")]
  [XmlArrayItem( "CommentLine", typeof(string) )]
  public ArrayList CommentLines {
    get {

      ArrayList lines = new ArrayList();
      if ( m_strComment != null ) {

        string      strLine = null;
        StringReader  reader = new StringReader( m_strComment );
        while ( (strLine = reader.ReadLine()) != null ) {

          lines.Add( strLine );
        }
      }

      return lines;
    }
    set {
      m_strComment = null;
      foreach ( string strLine in value ) {
        if ( strLine == null ) {
          continue;
        }
        if ( m_strComment == null ) {
          m_strComment = strLine;
        }
        else {
          m_strComment += "\n" + strLine;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Any help would be very much appreciated!

3.XML serialization of ArrayList of ArrayLists

let's suppose I have a class A.
now I want to serialize an ArrayList of ArrayLists of A class objects..
what XML tags ([XmlAttribute] / [XmlElement]) do I need to add to these 
classes in order to be able to serialize it?

5.ArrayList XmlSerialization Question

I have the following 
a class with ArrayList member

[XmlInclude(typeof(keyword))]
public class Info
{
       Info(){data = new ArrayList();}
       
       public ArrayList keyword;
      public void Add(string sData)
      {
                 keyword key;
                 key = new keyword();
                 key.data = sData;
                data.Add(key);
       }
public string SerializeObject(object oClassObject,System.Type oClassType)
{
	XmlSerializer oSerializer = new XmlSerializer(oClassType);
	System.Text.StringBuilder strBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
	System.IO.TextWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter(strBuilder);
	oSerializer.Serialize(writer,oClassObject);
	return strBuilder.ToString();
}

in my aspx page i called 
Info oInfo =  new Info();
oInfo.Add( "Key1 ");
oInfo.Add( "Key2 ");
string str = oInfo.SerializeObject(oInfo,typeof(Info));

after XML Generation in the keyword section i got like this

- <keyword>
- <anyType xsi:type="keyword">
  <LangString>key1</LangString> 
  </anyType>
- <anyType xsi:type="keyword">
  <LangString>key2</LangString> 
  </anyType>
  </keyword>

how can I get result like following
<keyword>
  <LangString>key1</LangString> 
</keyword>
<keyword>
  <LangString>key2</LangString> 
</keyword>
each keyword in independent element, is this possible
