I am having following peice of code ,where in i am trying to serialize and deserailize object of StringResource class. Please note Resource1.stringXml = its coming from resource file.If i pass strelemet.outerXMl i get the object from Deserialize object ,but if i pass Resource1.stringXml i am getting following exception

{"< STRING xmlns=''> was not expected."} System.Exception {System.InvalidOperationException}

    static void Main(string[] args)

        str.DELETE = "CanDelete";
        str.ID= "23342";
        XmlElement strelemet = SerializeObjectToXmlNode (str);

        StringResource strResourceObject = DeSerializeXmlNodeToObject<StringResource>(Resource1.stringXml);
        Console.ReadLine();

    }
