Answer 1

I had the same error with Deserialize "xml string with 2 namespaces declared" into object.

    Can't get PAN

[XmlRoot(ElementName = "errorNotification", Namespace = "http://def")]
public class ErrorNotification
{
    [XmlAttribute(AttributeName = "vcs-pos", Namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")]
    public string VcsPosNamespace { get; set; }

    [XmlAttribute(AttributeName = "vcs-device", Namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")]
    public string VcsDeviceNamespace { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName = "errorText", Namespace = "")]
    public string ErrorText { get; set; }
}

By adding field with [XmlAttribute] into ErrorNotification class deserialization works.

public static T Deserialize(string xml)
{
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(xml))
    {
        return (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
    }
}

var obj = Deserialize(xml);
