Any other ways to make deserialization be even smarter to treat counter as an integer other than string?

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;


public class Bar
{
    [XmlAttribute(DataType = "int", AttributeName = "counter")]
    [System.ComponentModel.DefaultValueAttribute(0)]
    public int counter;
}
static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Bar a = Read(@"<Bar counter=10/>");

        return;
    }

    static Bar Read(string xml)
    {
        Bar bar = (Bar)new XmlSerializer(typeof(Bar)).Deserialize(new StringReader(xml));
        return bar;
    }
}

But isn't there something like break * 2;
