I would like the following function to return Nothing if the element with the specified key is not in the collection. Instead, it returns an error - something to the effect of "no element found"

I'm deserializing some XML from an old application into an object in my current application. The old XML often has empty elements (<SomeElement />) which are currently deserialized as empty strings (""). I agree that this is the most appropriate behaviour, but it is a minor irritant; I'd rather they were deserialized as Nothing or ideally ignored - the effect would be the same. Is there a means of ignoring these elements? Or can I have them deserialized as Nothing?
View 2 RepliesGoal: Load a validated xml file in to memory, traverse through the document to create objects and load object properties with values in named xml tags.Problem: How do I deal with missing tags?Amplifying information: in this example, there are three values I'm looking for; name (mandatory), location (optional), comments(optional). I found the problem in prototyping the solution. My inital test was with an xml file wtih all fields present. It works fine as long as I don't have nanespace declarations in the root element. However, if I leave them in place I get a null reference exceptoin. The same thing occurs if I leave off an optional tag. It appears that if the Element I'm trying to get a value on doesn't exist within that element, a null reference exception is thrown.

This should be simple but apparently it's not. I have a text file, 694 bytes. At byte 500 there's a null in the file. I've tried reading it as text and binary and I end up with a string, 694 bytes long. But anyting I do with this string fails because it appears to stop at character 500. I can do a ? asc(mystring.substring(549,1)) and I get 9 (tab). Print character 550 and I get 0. Print character 551 and I get 32 (space). How do I get rid of this null?
