XML deserialization not binding list of strings

Question

I am trying to deserialize xml into c# classes.

I followed some documentation and generated some c# classes using the commands xsd foo.xml & xsd foo.xsd /classes

one of the classess generated by commands. The only part that fails to bind is the getMLIstResult

[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("xsd", "4.8.3928.0")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true, Namespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")]
public partial class EnvelopeBodyGetMListResponse
{

        private string[] getMListResultField;

        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute(IsNullable = false)]
        public string[] GetMListResult
        {
            get
            {
                return this.getMListResultField;
            }
            set
            {
                this.getMListResultField = value;
            }
        }
    }

the xml used to create the xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetMListResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      <GetMListResult>
        <string>string</string>
        <string>string</string>
      </GetListResult>
    </GetListResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

xsd used to create the class

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema id="Envelope" targetNamespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:mstns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:app1="http://tempuri.org/">
  <xs:import namespace="http://tempuri.org/" schemaLocation="Envelope_app1.xsd" />
  <xs:element name="Envelope" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true" msdata:Prefix="soap">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="Body" msdata:Prefix="soap">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="GetMListResponse">
                <xs:complexType>
                  <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="GetMListResult">
                      <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>
                          <xs:element name="string" type="xs:string" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                        </xs:sequence>
                      </xs:complexType>
                    </xs:element>
                  </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
              </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

a few things to note:

• I am not able to change the way the xml is returned from an api I am trying to work with.
• I also made a few changes to the xsd after it was generated.
• serialization/deserialization works for the most part, but lists/arrays fail to bind
