C# - Deserialize a List<String>

I can serialize a list really easy:

List<String> fieldsToNotCopy =new List<String> {"Iteration Path","Iteration ID"};
fieldsToNotCopy.SerializeObject("FieldsToNotMove.xml");

Now I need a method like this:

List<String> loadedList = new List<String();
loadedList.DeserializeObject("FieldsToNotMove.xml");

Is there such a method? Or am I going to need to create an XML reader and load it in that way?

EDIT: Turns out there is no built in SerialzeObject. I had made one earlier in my project and forgot about it. When I found it I thought it was built in. In case you are curious this is the SerializeObject that I made:

// Save an object out to the disk
public static void SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize, String filename)
{
   XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(toSerialize.GetType());
   TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(filename);

   xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
   textWriter.Close();
}
