Answer 1

I had a very similar problem. It is not exactly the problem asked here, but it could be a start point:

    private T GetXValue(XElement xElem, string name)
    {
        try
        {
            object o = xElem.Element(name).Value;
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(o, typeof(T));
        }
        catch 
        {
            return (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), null);
        }
    }
