The way I do it is like so:

C#

public class MyObject
{
    public string ID { get; set; }
    public string SiteID { get; set; }

    public XElement AsXElement
    {
        get
        {
             XElement value = new XElement("siteconfigurationinfor", 
                                           new XElement("id", ID),
                                           new XElement("id", SiteID));
             return value;
        }
        set
        {
            ID = value.Element("id").Value;
            SiteID = value.Element("siteid").Value;
        }
    }
   
    public MyObject(XElement value)
    {
        this.AsXElement = value;
    }
}

Of course, you could use the built-in serialization stuff, but I prefer to do it this way (and my actual code uses exception handling in the event of malformed XML or missing values).
