XML Serialization: System.InvalidOperationException: <tagname> was not expected
I am trying to de-serialize an XML document, and when the desessializer encounters a specific tag about half of the document, it gives an error:
System.InvalidOperationException <mytagname> was not expected.
It has a tag [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute("MyTagName", typeof(MediaFile))]right in front of it in the class, and the error only occurs in that particular tag / class, but I cannot find anything else that could happen. Has anyone ever seen this before?
IMAGE FOR MORE DETAILS:
Here's the code for the deserializer:
String xmlString = _doc.ToString();
StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlString);
XmlReader xr = XmlReader.Create(sr);
xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(VideoAdServingTemplate<AdNode>));
objVast = (VideoAdServingTemplate<AdNode>)xs.Deserialize(sr);
And the XML in question is as follows:
<VideoAdServingTemplate xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="vast.xsd">
<Ad id="myad">
<InLine>
<AdSystem>MyAdSystem</AdSystem>
<AdTitle>Advertisement</AdTitle>

There's a bit more for XML, but its pretty big, so I cut a lot out of it. I'm not sure about the order in which everything is deserialized, all I know is the first error that I see after calling xs.Deserialize ():
