  • It is surprising that there are no existing questions on this topic... In any way please explain why you need ArrayList as result? – Alexei Levenkov May 20 '16 at 05:29

testString = "<root>" + testString + "</root>";    
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(new StringReader(testString));
var arrayList = doc.Descendants("Role")
                .Select(a => new Role{
                    Name = a.Attribute("name").Value,
                    Permissions = a.Descendants("PermissionName").Select(x=> x.Value).ToList()
                }).ToArray();


public class Role{
public string Name{get;set;}
public List<string> Permissions{get;set;}
}

Is this what you are looking for??
