My main objective is to generate hierachial xml
In the dataset I have all the elements of hierarchy in one row
For example H1, H2, H3, H4 ,H5............
H1 is parent of H2
H2 is child of H1 and parent of H3
H3 is child of H2 and parent of H4
H4 is child of H3 and parent of H5
H5
I am planning to define a generic class which will have properties of all hierarchies (H1, H2...H5...). If one property exists in more than one hierarchy, then it will exist only in a class
For example
Id
Type
RatingKVA
Lat
Long
In the type I will store H1, H2, H3.....
In order to define hierachial relationship (for example, H1's child is H2..........)
I am planning to call this generic class as list within itself.
Is this good approch? Do you see any problem with it?
