Well, you mention storage containers, but from what I
gathered in your
post, you mean more of business objects (or class
structures). If you
are asking about the storage mechanism, I can say that XML
is a
wonderful thing for people to start playing around with in
the .NET
Framework. If your data is somewhat small (string, numeric,
or
serialized object), then I certainly would recommend giving
the
System.Xml namespace a quick look.
As far as how to use your objects, a simple struct could
work, but I
almost always go with classes (more control).

Are you working with .NET v1.1, or v2.0?
If the former, all you would really have to do is use an
ArrayList to
hold your data, that way you can .Add() very easily. Then
when you need
something you can serialize for [XML ;)] storage, simply
call the
ArrayList's .CopyTo() into an array of your particular
object type.
If the latter, life is even easier with generics
(System.Collections.Generic namespace). You should
absolutely look into
these if you are using v2.0. A simple Google search on
"c# generic
collections" should give you more than enough reading
material.
