XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(OrderedItem), "http://www.cpandl.com");Is there any way to place this code inside of the OrderedItem class, maybe in the constructor And to this constructor I would pass the filename string.
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open);
OrderedItem i;
i = (OrderedItem) serializer.Deserialize(fs);
Any ideas on how to hide this code within OrderedItem
Thanks,
Nate
Is it possible to use Serializer.Deserialize() within the class being created?

You can create a static method on OrderedItem, that does the serialization and returns an object for you
Something like:
public static OrderedItem Create( string Filename )
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(OrderedItem), "http://www.cpandl.com");
using( FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open) )
return (OrderedItem) serializer.Deserialize(fs);
}
and then
OrderedItem item = OrderedItem.Create( someFilename );
