deserialization error : "<book xmlns=''> was not expected." DeSerialize from xml string - asp.net

Question

I am having problem deserializing xml to multiple class objects. when i try yo deserialize
i am getting " was not expected."
Here is my calling code
StringReader strReader = new StringReader(xml);
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(strReader);
reader.ReadToDescendant("book");
var temp = DeserializeFromXml<book>(reader.ReadOuterXml());
public static T DeserializeFromXml<T>(string xml)
{
T result;
XmlRootAttribute xRoot = new XmlRootAttribute();
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
using (TextReader tr = new StringReader(xml))
{
result = (T)ser.Deserialize(tr);
}
return result;
}
xml is string message
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><books xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >
<book genre="novel">
<title>The Handmaid's Tale</title>

Answer 1

Simply take off the Namespace = from the attribute of your Book class.
So your code will be like
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "4.0.30319.233")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true, Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/SampleBooks.xsd")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(IsNullable = false)]
public partial class book
