You can use generic List also. See the sample code snippet:

public List GetContactList(int startindex)
{

    string path = Server.MapPath("~/contacts.xml");
    XDocument xd = XDocument.Load(path);
    IEnumerable results = (from items in xd.Elements("Company").Elements("Contact")
                   select new Company
                   {
                       Id = items.Element("ID").Value,
                       Photo = (string)items.Element("photo").Value,
                       Name = (string)items.Element("Name").Value,
                       BloodGroup = (string)items.Element("Bg").Value,
                       Dob = (string)items.Element("dob").Value,
                       Anniversery = (string)items.Element("avd").Value,
                       Mobile = (string)items.Element("cnum").Value,
                       designation = (string)items.Element("desig").Value,
                       Team = (string)items.Element("team").Value
                   }).Skip(startindex*10).Take(10);
    return (List) results;
}

You can also use DataSet/DataTable instead of DataReader.
