    <p>I might have a simple question but I just can't figure it out. First I've saved data to a XML file, using this <a href="http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/XMLArrays.aspx" rel="nofollow">Source</a>. First class:</p> <pre><code>public class Employees { public string Name { get; set; } public Employees() { } public Employees(string name) { Name = name; } } public class group { public string Name { get; set; } public List&lt;Employees&gt; Employees { get; set; } public group() { Employees = new List&lt;Employees&gt;(); } </code></pre> <p>Saving XML data in another class.</p> <pre><code> public class SaveXML { static public void SaveData(group info) { XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(info.GetType()); StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("dataArray.xml"); xs.Serialize(writer, info); writer.Close(); } } </code></pre> <p>Form1:</p> <pre><code> private void SaveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] employees = new string[EmployList.Items.Count]; for (int x = 0; x &lt; EmployList.Items.Count; x++) { employees[x] = EmployList.Items[x].ToString(); } try { group groups = new group(); groups.Name = GroupText.Text; for (int x = 0; x &lt; employees.Length; x++) { groups.Employees.Add(new Employees(employees[x])); } SaveXML.SaveData(groups); } catch (Exception es) { MessageBox.Show(es.Message); } } </code></pre> <p>Now I want to load this data into a array, Here is my class for loading data:</p> <pre><code>public class LoadXML { static public void LoadData(group LoadInfo) { XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(LoadInfo.GetType()); TextReader Read = new StreamReader("dataxml.xml"); List&lt;Employees&gt; GroupList; GroupList = (List&lt;Employees&gt;)xs.Deserialize(Read); } } </code></pre> <p>This is what I've tried, but it gives me errors:</p> <pre><code> private void LoadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { group groups = new group(); LoadXML Loading = new LoadXML(); Loading.LoadData(groups); string[] array = new string[10]; array = groups.Employees.ToArray; //error line } </code></pre> <p>So now my question is how to get the GroupList into a Array in the main function. I want to have it in a array because I think it's easier to get a single name out of a array, but on the other hand, the length of the array depends on user input.</p> <p>This is a test program, not the actual program I'm using, this is just to learn it and then implement it in my original project.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

    1. COI have edited your title. Please see, "[Should questions include “tags” in their titles?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19190/)", where the consensus is "no, they should not".

    2. COI think you have some confusion at the load method. You are creating GroupList object, but you arent returning in. Put return statement at the end and change void to List<Employees>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
