Usage

Serialize Objects

//Object to be Serialized
public class TestObject
{
   public string Name { get; set; }
   public string ConnectionString { get; set; }
}

Serialize the Object to a File.

using EasyXMLSerializer;
//...

//Calling Code

// Fill the Object
var testObject = new TestObject
{
	Name = "TestName",
	ConnectionString = "Server=myServerAddress;..."
};

//Save the Object to "TestObject.xml"
var serializeTool = new SerializeTool("TestObject.xml");
serializeTool.WriteXmlFile(testObject);

//...

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestObject xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<Name>TestName</Name>
	<ConnectionString>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;</ConnectionString>
</TestObject>

You can use XMLSerializeation attributes

using System.Xml.Serialization;

[XmlRoot("Configuration")]
public class TestObject
{
	[XmlAttribute]
	public string Name { get; set; }
	public string ConnectionString { get; set; }
}

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Name="TestName">
	<ConnectionString>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;</ConnectionString>
</Configuration>

Deserialize to Object

Using a File:

var deserializeTool = new SerializeTool("TestObject.xml");
var testObject = deserializeTool.ReadXmlFile<TestObject>();

Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.Name=>{testObject.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.ConnectionString=>{testObject.ConnectionString}");

//---

//Alternative
var deserializeTool = new SerializeTool();
var testObject = deserializeTool.ReadXmlFile<TestObject>("TestObject.xml");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.Name=>{testObject.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.ConnectionString=>{testObject.ConnectionString}");

Using a XML-String:

var xmlString = "<Configuration Name=\"TestName\"><ConnectionString>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;</ConnectionString></Configuration>";
var testObject = deserializeTool.ReadXmlFromString<TestObject>(xmlString);

Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.Name=>{testObject.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($@"TestObject.ConnectionString=>{testObject.ConnectionString}");

I hope this helps in many Projects :)
