So how do i store it in XMLNode. my method should return whole structure as an node not as document. Thanks in advance.

Hi, can you be more specific waht is the problem if the problem parsing the html or creating the XMLNod. Here is A link that shows creating xml by code ti creates XMLDocument but you can use just tha part that creates the root XMLNode

http://www.java2s.com/Code/CSharp/XML/ProgrammaticallycreatinganewXMLdocument.htm

About parsing th html look at this link

Sounds to me you would like to waLk the ´object model´ (your site structure) and build an XML document with this structure.

A recursive function would be an option (pseudo code):

BuildRecursiveStructure(SiteStructureNode currentSiteNode, XmlNode buildNode)
{
        newNode = xDoc.CreateElement( currentSiteNode.name );
    buildNode.addChild( newNode );
        foreach (?? childSiteNode in currentSiteNode.Children)
    {
        BuildRecursiveStructure( childSiteNode, newNode );
    }
}

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.LoadXml("");

BuildRecursiveStrucure( SitesInfoRoot? , xDoc.DocumentElement);

Hope this helps,
