the main proplem is i am trying to use content xml importer widt

no processoing requrie

but i keep getting this error

Error 6 There was an error while deserializing intermediate XML. Cannot find type "EvoFxEngine.EvoFxMesh.EvoFxMeshProcessor". C:\Documents and Settings\Michael Hansen\Desktop\Vista\EvoFXTEST\EvoFXTEST\Content\Skydome\SkyDome1.xml 3 8 EvoFXTEST

hope some one can help

Answer this question

ContentManager.load<MyClass>(filename)

I think you have a misunderstanding of how this works, here's a sample

code:

namespace MyGame
{
public class MyObject
{
public int MyInt { get; set; }
public String MyString { get; set; }
}
}

xml:

<XnaContent>
<Asset Type="MyGame.MyObject">
<MyInt>10</MyInt>
<MyString>This is my string</MyString>
</Asset>
</XnaContent>

The XmlImporter will create a MyObject and assign its properties based on the Xml definition. You can use attributes on the class to tell the XmlImporter to ignore properties, or make them optional.

You don't want the importer to create an instance of your processor :) You want it to create an instance of your object, it will then get passed to a processor. I think what you want to do is write your own importer and send it to the mesh processor.
