Read a XML tree structure recursively in a List with children lists

Question

I have an XML like this:

And I have a Member class with property Name.

How can I read every Unit and its children Units into multiple generic List

Answer 1

class Unit
{
    public string Name;
    public List Children;

    public Unit(string name, List children)
    {
        Name = name;
        Children = children;
    }

    public static Unit Convert(XElement elem)
    {
        return new Unit(elem.Attribute("Name").Value, Convert(elem.Elements()));
    }

    public static List Convert(IEnumerable elems)
    {
        return elems.Select(Unit.Convert).ToList();
    }
}

You can use it like this:

Unit.Convert(XDocument.Parse(xml).Root.Elements())
