Answer 1

XmlElementAttribute will allow you specify element name.

public class case_id_list
{
  [XmlElement("case_id")]
  public List<string> case_id {get; set;}
}

Answer 2

You should use this service . It converts your xml structure to valid c# model structure. It's a very useful tool.

*In case you ever want to convert your JSON to C# this is another useful service .

Cheers!
