c# XML parsing into a GeoCoordinate

I have this XML (example file):

 <Record counter="1">
      <Fields>
       <Field name="id">4234</Field>
       <Field name="county"></Field>
     </Fields>          
     <Distance>
       <Miles>0.14</Miles>
       <KM>0.22</KM>
     </Distance>
     <Point>
       <Lat>51.498199</Lat>
       <Lon>-0.126334</Lon>
     </Point>
</Record>

I have this code below to place it all in the 'vList' collection which is all fine. But, I need to convert the lat and long in a GeoCoordinate.

doing something like this:

GeoCoordinate Location = new GeoCoordinate(Convert.ToDouble(Lat), Convert.ToDouble(Lon));

And it needs to be exposed so it can be seen by the xaml page to convert into Pushpins. It needs to stay in the same collection as vList so all elements of the XML are kept together. I hope this makes sense. I ve spent all day trying to solve this but can't see how to eventually add this Geolocation 'Location' value to my collection. Thanks.

I think you need a type of GeoCoordinate in you Venue model. Don't use the separate properties for Latitude and Longitude. As far as I know the pushpins in XAML only have a Location property where you can bind on, which is expecting a type of GeoCoordinate.

Also I'm not really getting the purpose of the SaveData method. Why would you use reflection when you can just use the properties, which you are already publicly exposing?

I would suggest get rid of the SaveData method with the reflection part, add a GeoCoordinate property and create your objects by using the properties.
