Cannot create XmlSerializer from XSD generated class object

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9obiBB?=]

Hi all, I have ceated a CSharp class from an xml schema (xsd) by using the
command line tool XSD. When I attempt to create an XmlSerializer object from
the class object. I get the following two errors.

Cannot convert type
'mamc.regional. informatics.her mes.PaginationP ageQuestionTrig gerRule[]' to
'mamc.regional. informatics.her mes.PaginationP ageQuestionTrig gerRule'

Cannot implicitly convert type
'mamc.regional. informatics.her mes.PaginationP ageQuestionTrig gerRule' to
'mamc.regional. informatics.her mes.PaginationP ageQuestionTrig gerRule[]'

I am not quite sure why the XSD tool even generated a non collection, i.e.
single instance definition of the trigger rule. In the definition the
question can have 0 to unbounded instances of trigger and trigger can have 1
to unbounded instances of rule.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

I had the exact same error today. Have a look in the generated code
for PaginationPageQ uestionTriggerR ule, and look at the attribute above
it -it should be of type PaginationPageQ uestionTriggerR ule[], not
PaginationPageQ uestionTriggerR ule as it will probably be generated. I
think this is a bug in XSD.EXE.
