How to Read two XML files and return List(of object)?

I have two xml files. I have to read them and return as a List( Of object).

Here is my function.

 Public Function GetData(ByVal name As String, ByVal city As String) As List(Of Object)
        'Return Nothing
 开发者_开发技巧End Function

Thanks,

You may change return type into "Object" and then make it type cast to "List (Of Object)" , though it's ugly
