How to ignore parts of XML with C# Serialization?

Tags: Microsoft, .NET, 3, C# Serialization
I can tell C#/.NET/whatever to automatically serialize a property by typing:
[[XmlAttribute("name")] public string name;

I can tell it to NOT serialize using:
[XmlIgnoreAttribute()]

But how do I tell it to IGNORE parts of the XML file that I don't want to load? Last time I tried this it just refused to load the file, saying invalid element or suchlike. Admittedly I haven't retried it since and am just getting back to this issue. I don't want to put all the properties into the code as we only need a small section of rather a large XSD schema defining an even bigger /XML file.
