Can I create a list (or equivalent object) where I can combine the multiple classes to store the data or where I can store the multiple classes in nested format.

I have two classes MenuItems(ID int, ...., Icons_IconID int) and Icons(ID, ...) and I want select the data from the database and store the data in the objects that are related. Like:
Menu: File
MenuOrder: 1
...
Icons_IconID:1
Icon: FileIcon
...

How can I do that?

I was trying to use List within List, but couldn't think of a feasible solution on how to implement that. Please help

Why not design the class to hold the "sub class" instances:

C#

public class MenuItem
   {
   public int ID { get; set; }
   ...
   private List<Icon> _Icons = new List<Icon>();  
   public List<Icon> Icons { get { return _Icons; }}
   ...
   }

Then all you need is a List<MenuItem> to hold them all.

Can I create a list (or equivalent object) where I can combine the multiple classes to store the data or where I can store the multiple classes in nested format.
