Hello,

There is an online tool which can convert json / xml to C# classes, the link below:

https://json2csharp.com/xml-to-csharp

When i pasted your xml, I got the following:
// using System.Xml.Serialization;
// XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(RESPONSE));
// using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(xml))
// {
//    var test = (RESPONSE)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
// }

[XmlRoot(ElementName="Student")]
public class Student {

    [XmlElement(ElementName="StudentName")]
    public string StudentName { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName="ClassName")]
    public string ClassName { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName="Age")]
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot(ElementName="StudentList")]
public class StudentList {

    [XmlElement(ElementName="Student")]
    public List Student { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot(ElementName="School")]
public class School {

    [XmlElement(ElementName="SchoolID")]
    public int SchoolID { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName="SchoolName")]
    public string SchoolName { get; set; }

    [XmlElement(ElementName="StudentList")]
    public StudentList StudentList { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot(ElementName="SchoolList")]
public class SchoolList {

    [XmlElement(ElementName="School")]
    public List School { get; set; }
}

[XmlRoot(ElementName="RESPONSE")]
public class RESPONSE {

    [XmlElement(ElementName="SchoolList")]
    public SchoolList SchoolList { get; set; }
}
See comments at the start which to deserialize to the object.
Hope it helps!

Hi krishna, Here is the C# class which is generated from the given XML.
using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace DemoXML
{
    [XmlRoot(ElementName="Student")]
    public class Student {
        [XmlElement(ElementName="StudentName")]
        public string StudentName { get; set; }
        [XmlElement(ElementName="ClassName")]
        public string ClassName { get; set; }
        [XmlElement(ElementName="Age")]
        public string Age { get; set; }
    }

    [XmlRoot(ElementName="StudentList")]
    public class StudentList {
        [XmlElement(ElementName="Student")]
        public List Student { get; set; }
    }

    [XmlRoot(ElementName="School")]
    public class School {
        [XmlElement(ElementName="SchoolID")]
        public string SchoolID { get; set; }
        [XmlElement(ElementName="SchoolName")]
        public string SchoolName { get; set; }
        [XmlElement(ElementName="StudentList")]
        public StudentList StudentList { get; set; }
    }

    [XmlRoot(ElementName="SchoolList")]
    public class SchoolList {
        [XmlElement(ElementName="School")]
        public List School { get; set; }
    }

    [XmlRoot(ElementName="RESPONSE")]
    public class RESPONSE {
        [XmlElement(ElementName="SchoolList")]
        public SchoolList SchoolList { get; set; }
    }

}
Here is the C# code
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(RESPONSE));
using (TextReader reader = new StringReader("XML String")) //Put your XML string here
{
    RESPONSE result = (RESPONSE) serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
