Im trying to import this in asp.net mvc.

What would be the best way to read this into a c# list? Thanks in advance!

Have you written a DTO class yet? What is it that you are struggling with? Serialization? Lists? — Neil, Aug 09 '18 at 14:37

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<MyClass>));

using(FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite("filename"))
{
  List<MyClass> list = new List<MyClass>();
  serializer.Serialize(stream, list);
}

using(FileStream stream = File.OpenRead("filename"))
{
  List<MyClass> dezerializedList = (List<MyClass>)serializer.Deserialize(stream);
}
