Re: When Deserializing and object into a class, thereafter how do you delete a node?

Hi Mark,

Because its an array you would need to do some array gymnastics. It may
actually be easier to load it into an ArrayList and do it that way, but here
is some (untested) code anyway.

books booksInstance = // Get your books instance.
booksBook subset = new booksBook[booksInstance.Items.Length - 1];
Array.Copy(booksInstance.Items, 0, subset, 0, 1);
Array.Copy(booksInstance.Items, 2, subset, 1, booksInstance.items.Length -
1];
booksInstance.Items = subset;
