Answer 1

In AnswerItem, make a property called Value and mark it with the XmlText attribute. This setting will cause the XmlSerializer to read the text in the AnswerItem element into the Value property.

[Serializable()]
public class AnswerItem
{
    [XmlAttribute("Id")]
    public Guid QuestionId { get; set; }

    [XmlText]
    public string Value { get; set; }
}
