1. In my ContentPipeline project, I created a PlanetSurfaceContentWriter and a PlanetSurfaceContent class.
2. In the Content class, it's just a basic class with 3 string fields.
3. In the ContentWriter class, I selected "Content Writer" when I clicked "Add New" and the template filled out almost everything to start.
4. I changed the "using TWrite" code to "using TWrite=PlanetSurfaceContent" (with namespace, etc.)
5. Next, I updated the output.write code and the function that stores the ContentReader class.

1. In my GameLibrary project, I created a PlanetSurfaceContentReader (using the ContentReader template) and a PlanetSurfaceData class.
2. In the PlanetSurfaceData class, I copied the 3 fields from the PlanetSurfaceContentClass.
3. In the Reader, I updated the "using TRead" to using PlanetSurfaceData (not content).
4. In the Reader, I updated code to do the input.Read, etc. and assign my variables after creating a new instance, and then return that instance, etc.

1. Finally, I create my XML file that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<XnaContent>
  <Asset Type="GameEngine.ContentPipeline.PlanetSurface.PlanetSurfaceMapContent">
    <TerrainAssetName>Models\\Heightmaps\\DemoMap2\\heightmap</TerrainAssetName>
    <SkyAssetName>Models\\Skys\\Space</SkyAssetName>
    <Name>Test Planet</Name>
  </Asset>
</XnaContent>

Hi, I need help with deserializing an XML file: There was an error while deserializing intermediate XML. Cannot find type "Library.Map".
The library is referenced and it works when I try to make some 'Map class'-es, but in the edited XML file I created I get the above error. How do I fix it? - I think that letting the "public static class XMLContentWriter" class do the work will fix it but how do I write an XML file with it?

Thanks in advance,
