XmlNode -> Schema -> Object

[Brad Quinn]

I apologize, this question pertains to WebServices only indirectly.

Lets say I have an XmlNode that validates against some schema. I also have
a class that was generated by the xsd tool using said schema.

What is the best way to get from an XmlNode to an instance of the class?

I would really like to make the class be a parameter to a WebMethod, but the
schema is more rigorous than the class definition.

I'm not sure what to do here.
