I have a problem to display my name and my friends' names as individual Nodes, as I only get my friends' names without showing mine

C#

public JsonObject GetMyProfile(string accessToken)
            {           
                FacebookClient client = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
                JsonObject me = client.Get("me/friends") as JsonObject;            
                return me;
            }

Right now this is the XML result I got
What I want is to display myself and my friends individually as a node

I did something like that a while back never kept up with it. FB sends back JSON as you know. Basically what I ended up doing was create classes with public properties and used reflection to assign to the properties based on the json responses.

code looked like this

C#

public static void jsonAssign(Type t, object otarg, JObject jo)
{
    PropertyInfo[] pis = t.GetProperties();
    object o;
    foreach (PropertyInfo pi in pis)
    {
        o = jo[pi.Name];
        if (o != null)
        {

            string val = o.ToString();
            int len = val.Length;
            if (val.StartsWith("\""))
                val = val.Substring(1, len - 1);
            len = val.Length;
            if (val.EndsWith("\""))
                val = val.Substring(0, len - 1);

            pi.SetValue(otarg, val, null);
        }
    }
}
