how to create a hierarchical datastructure just like xml using .net?

You can use the XElement class to model an XML tree.

Here is the general pattern for creating parent-child relationships.

Public Class Node

  Private m_Children As List(Of Node) = New List(Of Node)

  Public ReadOnly Property Children() As List(Of Node)
    Get
      Return m_Children
    End Get
  End Property  

End Class
