XML XNA How to ignore an element

[FernandoS]

I'm trying to basically make a system which allows me to load in multiple types of enemies. One type of enemy requires more elements than the others. So for example. \[code\]XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("Levels\\Level"+ levelIndex + "\\Waves" + levelIndex + ".xml");List<WaveInfo> waveInfo = new List<WaveInfo>(); waveInfo = (from wave in doc.Descendants("wave") select new WaveInfo() { enemiesInfo = (from i in wave.Descendants("enemy") select new EnemyInfo() { type = Convert.ToInt32(i.Element("type").Value), colour = Convert.ToInt32(i.Element("colour").Value), speed = (float)Convert.ToDouble(i.Element("speed").Value), spawnTime = (float)Convert.ToDouble(i.Element("spawnTime").Value), }).ToList() }).ToList();\[/code\]This works fine and can load both types of enemy in. But in my xml I'm having to add a colour element to an enemy type that doesn't require it. What I would like to happen is that with one type of enemy I can just not bother writing the colour tags and the serializer just processes that as a null value. How can I do this?
