If you can tell me the magic google term that instantly gives me clarification, that would be helpful.
Here's the part that's throwing an issue when I try to manually deserialize from a string:
xsi:type="ns1:errorObject" xmlns:ns1="http://www.example.org/Version_3.0"
xsi:type="ns2:errorObject" xmlns:ns2="http://www.example.org/Version_3.0"
xsi:type="ns3:errorObject" xmlns:ns3="http://www.example.org/Version_3.0"
Here's how I'm deserializing by hand to test it: (in an aspx.cs page with a label on the front to display the value in that I can verify by reading source) (second block of XML duplicates the first but without the extra namespaces)
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
public partial class test : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
string sourceXml = @"<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<InitiateActivityResponse xmlns=""http://www.example.org/Version_3.0"">
<InitiateActivityResult>
<errorObject errorString=""string 1"" eventTime=""2010-05-21T21:19:15.775Z"" nounType=""Object"" objectID=""object1"" xsi:type=""ns1:errorObject"" xmlns:ns1=""http://www.example.org/Version_3.0"" />

sourceXml = @"<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<InitiateActivityResponse xmlns=""http://www.example.org/Version_3.0"">

</InitiateActivityResponse>
";
InitiateActivityResponse fragment = new InitiateActivityResponse();
Type t = typeof( InitiateActivityResponse );
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
TextWriter textWriter = new StringWriter( sb );
TextReader textReader = new StringReader( sourceXml );
XmlTextReader xmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader( textReader );
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer( t );
object obj = xmlSerializer.Deserialize( xmlTextReader );
fragment = (InitiateActivityResponse)obj;
xmlSerializer.Serialize( textWriter, fragment );
//I have a field on my public page that I write to from sb.ToString();
}
}
Consuming a webservice, I have a class like thus: (all examples foreshortened to as little as possible to show the problem, if boilerplate is missing, my apologies) (this is where I think I want to remove the troublespot)

Okay, what should I have not omitted? No I won't post the WSDL, it's hosted behind a firewall, for a vertical stack product. No, I can't change the data sender. Is this somehow automagically handled elsewhere and I just don't know what I don't know?
I think I want to do some sort of message sink leading into this method, to intercept the soapenv:Body, but obviously this is for errors, so I'm not going to get errors every time. I'm not entirely sure how to handle this, but some pointers would be nice.
