How to read data from XML file to List ?

Hello all!

I am student of programming and I don't have huge expirience in C#...

I am trying to make application for converting foregin currency into my home one (Serbian Dinar). Its my faculty project and I am trying my best to make it as best as possiable...

I made a class Curency{

private string name;
        private string Country;
        private decimal lowerRate;
        private decimal higherRate;
        private decimal midRate;

And I have a List<Currency> Val = new List<Currency>;

My question is how to add items from XML file i created which contains all those fields...?

I have been reading dozens of pages but I cannot find it to work. I used xml serializer, xdocumet reader,...
