使用 VB.net 反序列化 XML

我成功地反序列化了这个 XML，但是当我添加元数据部分时，如下所示，我不知道如何在代码中反序列化它。我的意思是我不知道如何构建我的类属性、方法、属性标签等。

我尝试了多种组合，但反序列化后我的班级中的元数据仍然为空。甚至不确定我是否在问正确的问题，而且我的代码有点长。我试着把它粘贴在这里，但它说它太长了，所以我不知道如何粘贴所有的人都能看到。

<!-- How to deserialize this Metadata section? -->

      <Metadata>
        <MetadataItem>
          <description>Design Flow Rate {m3/s}</description>
          <value>Autosize</value>
        </MetadataItem>
        <MetadataItem>

      <ImageName>hot_water_boiler</ImageName>
    </SubMenuItem>
  </MenuItems>
</MainMenu>

我添加了列表属性的代码，

<XmlType("MenuItem")>
Public Class PECSubMenuItem

'NOTE: By NOT specifing any custom Metadata Attributes, fields will be created as an element by default.
 Private mGUID As String
 Private mPicture As Bitmap
 Private mMenuGroup As String
 Private mComponentType As String
 Private mDefaultName As String
 Private mImageName As String
 Private mEquipmentUsage As String
 Private mMetadataList As List(Of MetadataItem)
 Public Enum EquipUsage
  Supply = 0
  Demand = 1
  Both = 2
 End Enum
 Public Sub New()
  mGUID = System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString
  mMetadataList = New List(Of MetadataItem)
 End Sub
 <XmlElement("Metadata")>
 Public Property Metadata As List(Of MetadataItem)

  Get
   Return mMetadataList
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As List(Of MetadataItem))
   mMetadataList = value
  End Set

 End Property

我为新课程添加的代码。

<XmlType("MetadataItem")>
Public Class MetadataItem

 Private mvalue As String
 Private mdescription As String
 <XmlElement("description")>
 Public Property description As String

  Get
   Return mdescription
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As String)
   mdescription = value
  End Set

 End Property
 <XmlElement("value")>
 Public Property value As String

  Get
   Return mvalue
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As String)
   mvalue = value
  End Set

 End Property

End Class
