    copied!<p>I have a web service that returns the following data:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?&gt; &lt;RESPONSE&gt; &lt;KEY&gt;12345&lt;/KEY&gt; &lt;PROPERTY&gt; &lt;PROPERTY_ADDRESS&gt; &lt;STREET_NUM&gt;25&lt;/STREET_NUM&gt; &lt;STREET_ADDRESS&gt;ELM ST&lt;/STREET_ADDRESS&gt; &lt;STREET_PREFIX/&gt; &lt;STREET_NAME&gt;ELM&lt;/STREET_NAME&gt; &lt;STREET_TYPE&gt;ST&lt;/STREET_TYPE&gt; &lt;STREET_SUFFIX/&gt; &lt;/PROPERTY_ADDRESS&gt; &lt;/PROPERTY&gt; &lt;/RESPONSE&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have a class structure to match:</p> <pre><code>[DataContract(Name="RESPONSE", Namespace="")] public class Response { [DataMember(Name="KEY")] public string Key { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "PROPERTY")] public Property Property { get; set; } } [DataContract(Name="PROPERTY", Namespace="")] public class Property { [DataMember(Name="PROPERTY_ADDRESS")] public PropertyAddress Address { get; set; } } [DataContract(Name="PROPERTY_ADDRESS", Namespace="")] public class PropertyAddress { [DataMember(Name="STREET_NUM")] public string StreetNumber { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "STREET_ADDRESS")] public string StreetAddress { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "STREET_PREFIX")] public string StreetPrefix { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "STREET_NAME")] public string StreetName { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "STREET_TYPE")] public string StreetType { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "STREET_SUFFIX")] public string StreetSuffix { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>My deserialization code looks like this:</p> <pre><code>[Test] public void TestMapping() { var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(Response)); Response response = null; using (var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(XmlData))) { response = (Response)serializer.ReadObject(ms); } //This works Assert.AreEqual("12345", response.Key); //This works Assert.AreEqual("25", response.Property.Address.StreetNumber); //This FAILS. StreetAddress is null Assert.AreEqual("ELM ST", response.Property.Address.StreetAddress); } </code></pre> <p>For the life of me I can't figure out why StreetAddress is failing. It's got to be something simple that I'm missing.</p>
