deserializing xml objects c#

so i have xml looks this:

<todo-list>
  <id type="integer">#{id}</id>
  <name>#{name}</name>
  <description>#{description}</description>
  <project-id type="integer">#{project_id}</project-id>
  <milestone-id type="integer">#{milestone_id}</milestone-id>
  <position type="integer">#{position}</position>

  <!-- user private lists -->
  <private type="boolean">#{private}</private>

  <!-- comment supports tracking -->
  <tracked type="boolean">#{tracked}</tracked>

  <!-- todo-items enclosed response -->
  <todo-items type="array">
    <todo-item>
      ...
    </todo-item>
    <todo-item>
      ...
    </todo-item>
    ...
  </todo-items>
</todo-list>
