Sample XML = the problem is I have no control over this.

Answer 1

just made this, works for me. bit clunky. use it as a template.

        public static Dictionary RecDis(string ThisXML)
    {
        Dictionary ThisBlock = new Dictionary();

        XElement doc = XElement.Parse(ThisXML);

        XNode[] ThisNoideArray = doc.Nodes().ToArray();

        foreach (XNode park in ThisNoideArray)
        {
            XElement parker = XElement.Parse(park.ToString());

            if (parker.HasElements)
            {
                ThisBlock.Add(parker.Name.ToString(), RecDis(parker.ToString()));
            }
            else
            {
                ThisBlock.Add(parker.Name.ToString(), parker.Value.ToString());
            }
        }

        return ThisBlock;
    }
