XmlSerializer: Implicit convert int to bool

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
From an external system we receive via soap data in XML format. Boolean values are represented as integers (0=False,1=True).
In our data layer we use boolean. Now I want to deserialize this XML with the XmlSerializer, but I cant get it working.<br/>
Can somebody help me?

Example Code
<div style="color:Black; background-color:White
<pre><span style="color:Blue Public <span style="color:Blue Sub Test
<span style="color:Blue Dim lXml1 <span style="color:Blue As <span style="color:Blue String = <span style="color:#A31515 "<Patient NationalNumberValidated=""0""/>"
<span style="color:Blue Dim lPatient1 <span style="color:Blue As Patient = DeserializeObject(lXml1)

Console.WriteLine(<span style="color:#A31515 "Value of NationalNumberValidated:" & lPatient1.NationalNumberValidated.ToString)

<span style="color:Blue Dim lXml2 <span style="color:Blue As <span style="color:Blue String = <span style="color:#A31515 "<Patient NationalNumberValidated=""1""/>"
<span style="color:Blue Dim lPatient2 <span style="color:Blue As Patient = DeserializeObject(lXml1)

<span style="color:Green lPatient2.NationalNumberValidated is still not True
Console.WriteLine(<span style="color:#A31515 "Value of NationalNumberValidated:" & lPatient2.NationalNumberValidated.ToString)

<span style="color:Blue End <span style="color:Blue Sub

<span style="color:Blue Public <span style="color:Blue Function DeserializeObject(<span style="color:Blue ByVal xml <span style="color:Blue As <span style="color:Blue String) <span style="color:Blue As Patient

<span style="color:Blue Dim xs <span style="color:Blue As <span style="color:Blue New XmlSerializer(<span style="color:Blue GetType(Patient))

<span style="color:Blue Using lText <span style="color:Blue As <span style="color:Blue New System.IO.StringReader(xml)

<span style="color:Blue Return <span style="color:Blue CType(xs.Deserialize(lText), Patient)

<span style="color:Blue End <span style="color:Blue Using

<span style="color:Blue End <span style="color:Blue Function
[/code]

<br/>
<pre lang="x-vbnet <Serializable()> _
Public Class Patient

Private mBoolean As Boolean

<XmlAttribute()>
Public Property NationalNumberValidated() As Boolean
Get
Return mBoolean
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
mBoolean = value
End Set
End Property

End Class[/code]
