You will need to have a design strategy.
For instance, you can serialize an object into a xml file.

With your requirements, you can have a xml file, based on a c# class with all user information.
You will need also to be aware when you need to persist your data into the file, and concurrency situations that is easy to avoid when using a database.

Yes, ReadXML to dataset and process everything with that dataset

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml("<xml filename="" with="" location="">");

If you do this way in Data layer(3 layered architecture), it will be helpful even when you upgrade your application to have any database or any other data source in future.
