如何将简单的xml节点值反序列化为复合类型？

Question

I have xml that looks something like this:

<Policy>
  <Number>10-13-123123</number>
</Policy>

And a types like this:

class Policy
{
    [DataMember]
    PolicyNumber Number {get;set;}
}
class PolicyNumber
{
    [DataMember]
    public int Num1 {get;set;}
    [DataMember]
    public int Num2 {get;set;}
    [DataMember]
    public int Num3 {get;set;}
}

I need to run a method to split the Xml value up into the 3 properties

How can I get code to run during the XmlSerializer deserialize process to process the Xml value into a new instance of the composite type?

You must implement IXmlSerializable in one (or both) of these classes to support what you want.
