Convert Class list to XML file to import in program.

[Jonas Carlsen]

Okay... i have now been searching the web for about a week and cant seems to get how to make my current list to a XML file that i later can place on my network share so i can import it from there to my program.

Heres my code from my form1:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Management;
using System.Xml.Linq;


namespace HQ_Installer
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{

public Form1()
{

InitializeComponent();

This part #region ComboBox1 indhold

//Office OfficeList = new Office();
//OfficeList.ReadXml(@"\\HQ\Software\att.xml");
//comboBox1.DataSource = OfficeList;
//comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Program";
//comboBox1.ValueMember = "sti";
//comboBox1.ValueMember = "side";
//OfficeList.Tables[0].DefaultView.Sort = "Program";
//comboBox1.DataSource = OfficeList.Tables[0];

//Oprettelse af OfficeList
var OfficeList = new[] {
new Office {Program = "Office 2007", sti = @"\\HQ\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\x86\Suits\setup.exe", side = @"\\HQ\Software\Server Software sider\Office\2007\Tekst.html"},
new Office {Program = "Office 2010 (x86)", sti = @"\\HQ\Software\Microsoft\Office\14\x86\Suits\setup.exe", side = @"\\HQ\Software\Server Software sider\Data Mangler\Tekst.html"},

as you can see in my code have i tryed to implement it but whit bad results.

Heres the Classes it has to work with:

Office Class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Data;
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace HQ_Installer
{
class Office

{
public string Program { get; set; }
public string sti { get; set; }
public string side { get; set; }


//public XmlReadMode ReadXml(XmlReader reader);
}

}

Client Class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace HQ_Installer
{
class Client
{
public string Program { get; set; }
public string sti { get; set; }
public string side { get; set; }
}
}

Server Class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace HQ_Installer
{
class Server
{
public string Program { get; set; }
public string sti { get; set; }
public string side { get; set; }
}
}


and last but not least heres the XML file i have been using to testing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<OfficeList>
<Field Program="Office 2007" sti="\\HQ\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\x86\Suits\setup.exe" side="http://www.google.com"></Field>
</OfficeList>

Is there anyway to make this to work with my XML file?
And hopfely whit all 3 lists in one XML file.
