    text
    copied!<p>I have by example following XML:</p> <pre><code>string xml = @"&lt;plist version='1.0'&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;DataType&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Employee&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;8000&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Id&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;8000&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Prename&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Walter&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Name&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Walter Lohner Stans&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Initials&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;MAL&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;8001&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Id&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;8001&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Prename&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Motorrad&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Name&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt; Meierskappel&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Initials&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;MAM&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;8004&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Id&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;8004&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Prename&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Hanspeter&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Name&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Altenbürger AG Horgen&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Initials&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;FH&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>I would like to get these 3 Employees as a List...</p> <p>The Class Employee is also defined:</p> <pre><code>//Class public class Employee { //Properties public string Id { get; set; } public string Prename { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string Initials { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>How does the parsing work now, if I by example want now to pass the xml to a method and want to have a List (of Type Employees) with these 3 Employees?</p> <p>I started by doing something like that:</p> <pre><code>public List&lt;Employee&gt; GetEmployees(string xml) { using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xml))) { } } </code></pre> <p>But Actually I don't know how to iterate over all these "dicts" which describe one Employee and generally how to deal with.. Help would be appreciated.</p>
