Serializing key value pairs into xml elements with the key being an attribute

Ok, So I am serializing a class into xml to be sent as an HttpResponse. Part of the data is a list of 'states', and I just can't figure out how to format it they way I need it to be.

Right now the xml response looke like so:

<user id="x" date="x" ...>
    <state>
        <state name="Email" />
            <Value>email@mail.com</Value>
        </state>
    </state>
    <state>
        <state name="Level" />
            <Value>0</Value>
        </state>
    </state>
</user>

I don't want elements within one element, and to not be its own element, but the value of the state element. I wanted it to look like

<user id="x" date="x" ...>        
    <state name="Email">email@email.com</state>
    <state name="Level">0</state>
</user>

right now my classes are:

[XmlRoot("user")]
public class User {
    [XmlAttribute]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [XmlAttribute]
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }

    [XmlArray]
    public List<State> State { get; set; }

}

public struct State {
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Value { get; set; }
}

Could someone show me what I am doing wrong? I cannot change the expected output, the service that is receiving these responses is preexisting and out of my control.

Thanks.
