Serialized data :

<Objs Version="1.1.0.1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/2004/04">
  <Obj RefId="0">
    <TN RefId="0">
      <T>Deserialized.System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]</T>

I want to get the

<LST>

</LST>

List<String>

You can use any xml parser for this. I will prefer linq to xml.

var xml=XElement.Load(xmlFilePath);
var nsManager=new XmlNamespaceManager(new XmlNameTable());
nsManager.AddNamespace("ns1",@"http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/2004/04");
var list=xml.XPathSelectElements("//ns1:LST/ns1:S",nsManager)
             .Select(element=>element.Value);

PS: You need to add System.Xml , System.Xml.Linq and System.Xml.XPath namespaces in the using statements.
