if property is type of enum then it is not possible to get into string during desearlizaton, i suppose but you can create another wrapper property string which take value of string format and mark the enum propery as XmlIgnore during searlization. and getter of enum property you can convert string into enum by Enum.parse(propKey, stringvalue);
