Serialization from Xml into Object

[rliq]

First, I should state that this post refers to a Silverlight 4 application. Silverlight 4 seems to have a cut-down version of the Serialization model.

I have an XML file in the following format:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<TeamTable>
  <TeamRow Id="1" Name="Arsenal" />
  <TeamRow Id="2" Name="Aston Villa" />
  <TeamRow Id="3" Name="Blackburn Rovers" />
  <TeamRow Id="4" Name="Bolton Wanderers" />
  <TeamRow Id="5" Name="Chelsea" />
  ...
</TeamTable>

I read the XML into an XDocument and then call the Load(...) member on my TeamTable Class:

    public class TeamTable : List<TeamRow>
    {
        public void Load(XDocument document)
        {
            foreach (XElement element in document.Descendants("TeamRow"))
                this.Add(TeamRow.Load(element));
        }
    }

For each of the TeamRow elements in the document, this function calls the Load(...) member of my TeamRow class:

    [DataContract]
    public class TeamRow
    {
        [DataMember]
        public Int32 Id { get; set; }

        [DataMember]
        public String Name { get; set; }

        public TeamRow() { }

        public static TeamRow Load(XElement element)
        {
            DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(TeamRow));

            using (XmlReader reader = element.CreateReader())
            {
                return serializer.ReadObject(reader) as TeamRow;
            }
        }
    }

All appears to be well, the first element passed to this function contains

<TeamRow Id="1" Name="Arsenal" />

as I would expect.

However the ReadObject(...) function is throwing the following exception.

Expecting element 'TeamRow' from namespace 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/...'..
 Encountered 'Element'  with name 'TeamRow', namespace".

This is my first attempt at this type of serialization. Can anyone help me fix the exception?
