XML转List<T>

以上是我XML的数据
[Serializable]
public class Brand
{
[XmlAttribute("BrandID")]
public string BrandID { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("GroupId")]
public string GroupId { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("ShortName")]
public string ShortName { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("Name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[XmlAttribute("Letters")]
public string Letters { get; set; }
}
这是我实体类
List<Brand> list = XMLHelper.Deserialize<List<Brand>>(xml);

public static T Deserialize<T>(string xml)
{
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(StringToUTF8ByteArray(xml));
XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(memoryStream, Encoding.UTF8);
object result = xs.Deserialize(memoryStream);
return (T)result;
}

运行报错XML 文档(2, 2)中有错误。。。。。小白请高手指点下XML转List<Brand>
[解决办法]
使用 LINQ 很方便面！

[Serializable]
[XmlElementAttribute("HotelBand", IsNullable = false)]    
     public class Brand
     {
         [XmlAttribute("BrandID")]
         public string BrandID { get; set; }
         [XmlAttribute("GroupId")]
         public string GroupId { get; set; }
         [XmlAttribute("ShortName")]
         public string ShortName { get; set; }
         [XmlAttribute("Name")]
         public string Name { get; set; }
         [XmlAttribute("Letters")]
         public string Letters { get; set; }
     }
