Where did XMLReader.GetAsObject() go?

In this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnxml/html/SysXMLVS05.asp
under #7, the GetAsObject method is being used. Was it removed or changed in beta 2? I'd like to use that method instead of using XmlSerializer since I don't have to specify a type to get an object in GetAsObject() method like I'd have to do in the XmlSerializer constructor.

There is some misunderstanding here. GetAsObject() method did require you to provide Type of object you want to be read.
That method was removed because of performance issues - as it hides XmlSerializer it generates serialiazation assemblies on each call, which is bad idea.
