How do I parse a matlab generated XML into class objects in C#

Dear All

I generated an XML from a Simulink (Matlab 2017b) model. The idea is to get the Model Properties from the XML into Class Objects (I am using C# .Net 4.5). Below in the generated XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModelInformation Version="1.0">
  <Model Name="MatlabToJenkinsIntegrationSample">
    <P Name="Version">9.0</P>
    <P Name="SavedCharacterEncoding">windows-1252</P>
    <GraphicalInterface>
      <P Name="NumRootInports">3</P>
      <Inport Name="Input1">
        <P Name="BusObject"/>
        <P Name="OutputFunctionCall">off</P>
        <P Name="SampleTime">-1</P>
        <P Name="UnitExpr">inherit</P>
      </Inport>
      <Inport Name="Input2 ">
        <P Name="BusObject"/>
        <P Name="OutputFunctionCall">off</P>
        <P Name="SampleTime">-1</P>
        <P Name="UnitExpr">inherit</P>
      </Inport>
      <Inport Name="MultiplicationFactor">
        <P Name="BusObject"/>
        <P Name="OutputFunctionCall">off</P>
        <P Name="SampleTime">-1</P>
        <P Name="UnitExpr">inherit</P>
      </Inport>
      <P Name="NumRootOutports">1</P>
      <Outport Name="Result">
        <P Name="BusObject"/>
        <P Name="BusOutputAsStruct">off</P>
        <P Name="UnitExpr">inherit</P>
      </Outport>
      <P Name="ParameterArgumentNames"/>
      <P Name="ComputedModelVersion">1.4</P>
      <P Name="NumModelReferences">0</P>
      <P Name="NumTestPointedSignals">0</P>
      <P Name="NumProvidedFunctions">0</P>
      <P Name="NumRequiredFunctions">0</P>
      <P Name="NumResetEvents">0</P>
      <P Name="HasInitializeEvent">0</P>
      <P Name="HasTerminateEvent">0</P>
      <P Name="IsExportFunctionModel">0</P>
      <P Name="NumParameterArguments">0</P>
      <P Name="NumExternalFileReferences">0</P>
      <P Name="OrderedModelArguments">1</P>
    </GraphicalInterface>
  </Model>
</ModelInformation>

The issue I am having is that it does not look like any traditional XML I have seen.

Still the questions remain I do I read them into the objects. I looked at a solution ([Solution]) but it was not suitable for this kind of XML. Please suggest a way.

What I have tried:

I created classes to get the objects as shown below

<pre>public class Model
{
        
    public string Name { get; set; }
      
    public string Version { get; set; }
        
    public string SavedCharacterEncoding { get; set; }
       
    public GraphicalInterface TheGraphicalInterface { get; set; }
}

public class GraphicalInterface
{
    public List<Port> InPorts { get; set; }

    public List<Port> OutPorts { get; set; }
}

public class Port
{
       
    public string OutputFunctionCall { get; set; }
      
    public double SampleTime { get; set; }
   
    public string UnitExpression { get; set; }
}
