Converting String to Structure - vb.net

Question

I am successfully converted structure data to string here in plain and (as suggested) in XML serialized way which obviously every has it's own good and bad side effects.
This is sample structure:
Public Structure myList
Dim a As String
Dim b As Integer
Dim c As Double
End Structure
Dim myInstance As New myList
myInstance.a = "Nemo"
myInstance.b = 10
myInstance.c = 3.14
Now I have 2 functions for converting structure data to string:
Dim xString As String = oStructToString(myInstance)
Public Function oStructToString(ByVal obj As Object) As String
Dim structString As String = ""
Dim i As Integer
Dim myType As Type = obj.GetType()
Dim myField As System.Reflection.FieldInfo() = myType.GetFields()
For i = 0 To myField.Length - 1
structString &= myField(i).GetValue(obj)
If i = myField.Length - 1 Then Exit For
structString &= Convert.ToChar(161)
Next i
Return structString
End Function
Dim xString As String = xStructToString(myInstance)
Public Function xStructToString(ByVal obj As Object) As String
Dim x As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(obj.GetType)
Dim sw As New IO.StringWriter()
x.Serialize(sw, obj)
Return sw.ToString
End Function
But I can't get data back from string to structure.
Public Function oStringToStruct(ByVal xString As String) As Object
So I can call:
Dim mySecondInstance As New myList = oStringToStruct(xString)
Or
Dim mySecondInstance As New myList = xStringToStruct(xString)
How to do that?
So far I came to this:
Public Function xStringToStruct(ByVal xString As String) As Object
Dim x As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer() ''<- what here?
Dim sr As New IO.StringReader(xString)
Return x.Deserialize(sr)
End Function
and this...
By help of har07 still one error remains here...
Public Function oStringToStruct(ByVal xString As String, ByVal type As Type) As Object
Dim structString() As String = xString.Split(Convert.ToChar(161))
Dim myType As Type = type.GetType()
Dim myField As System.Reflection.FieldInfo() = myType.GetFields()
For i As Integer = 0 To structString.Length - 1
myField(i).SetValue(type, structString(i)) ''here crashes
Next i
Return type
End Function

Deserialize xml string back to struct is easier :
Public Function xStringToStruct(ByVal xString As String, ByVal type As Type) As Object
Dim x As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(type)
Dim sw As New IO.StringReader(xString)
Return x.Deserialize(sw)
End Function
You can use it like so :
Dim xObject As myList = xStringToStruct(xString, GetType(myList))
