Can y provide me with example of how to parse XML to array of objects?

thanks

I think you will have to explain more what you want to do.
Are you going to represent XML as self defined objects?
Is it an entire tree(meaning you will need to recreate the structure with a
'binary tree') or is
it a list of nodes(meaning all you need is an array of your defined type
that represent a node).

If the latter, this may give you an idea.
Load the nodes in question into an XmlNodeList instance.
Iterate the list and for each node in the list create an instance of your
Type.
Let's call your Type "NodeRepresentation".
XmlNodeList nodes = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("node");
NodeRepresentation [] reps = new NodeRepresentation [nodes.Count];
for (int i = 0x0; i < reps.Length; i ++)
{
NodeRepresentation rep = new NodeRepresentation();
// Fill the "NodeRepresentation" instance with data from the node here
// or anything else you need to do.
reps [i] = rep;
}
Anyway, if you explain more what you need to do, you will probably get a
more precise answer.

I have a web service which accept XMLNode as parameter:
<Users>
<User>
<FirstName>Jim</ FirstName >
<LastName>Johnson</ LastName >
<ID>1234</ID>
</User>
<User>
<FirstName>Jane</ FirstName >
<LastName>Bauer</ LastName >
<ID>1234</ID>
</User>
<User>
<FirstName>Tim</ FirstName >
<LastName>Robinson</ LastName >
<ID>1234</ID>
</User>
</Users>

I'd like to create an array of objects from this xml/parameter that comes/:

Person[] p;
p[0].FirstName ->Jim
p[0].LastName ->Johnson
p[0].ID -> 1234

XML is not that simple and your question is too generic, but you should look
at System.XML

This should give you an idea:
[ WebMethod ]
public void ProcessUsersData ( XmlNode usersNode )
{
XmlNodeList userNodes = usersNode.SelectNodes("User");
User [] users = new User [userNodes.Count];
for (int i = 0x0; i < users.Length; i ++)
{
XmlNode userNode = userNodes [i];
string
id = userNode.SelectSingleNode("ID").InnerText,
firstName = userNode.SelectSingleNode("FirstName").InnerText,
lastName = userNode.SelectSingleNode("LastName").InnerText ;
users [i] = new User(id, firstName, lastName);
}
// Do something with 'users'.
}

// Class 'User'; prototype.
public class User
{
public User ( string id, string firstName, string lastName )
{
ID = id;
FirstName = firstName;
LastName = lastName;
}
public readonly string ID = null;
public readonly string FirstName = null;
public readonly string LastName = null;
}
