XML Deserialization Issue

I have the following xml that's sent to me from a web service. I'm using .NET to deserialize it, but I'm getting an exception saying that its formatted wrong. There is an error in XML document (2, 2) Now, if I understand that correctly, it's not liking that it's finding the first <error> node.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<messages xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xml">
  <error>error text</error>
  <message>message text</message>
</messages>

my code looks like this, data being the String version of the XML above:

Dim resp As cResponseMessage
Dim sr As New StringReader(data)
Dim xs As New XmlReaderSettings()

Dim xd As New XmlSerializer(GetType(cResponseMessage))
resp = xd.Deserialize(XmlTextReader.Create(sr, xs))

and cResponseMessage is simply a class with an XMLRoot attribute and 2 properties with XMLElement attributes. Nothing fancy here, but it doesn't want to work.

Any help would be great.

This class works for me:

<XmlRoot(Namespace:="http://www.w3.org/1999/xml", ElementName:="messages")> _
Public Class cResponseMessage

    <XmlElement> _
    Public Property [error] As String
        Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
    End Property

    <XmlElement> _
    Public Property message As String
        Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
    End Property
End Class

There is an error in XML document (2, 2) looks to me like it would be the m in <messages>.

Perhaps you don't have your XmlRoot set up correctly in cResponseMessage?
