how to generate a checkbox list files and files in subfolder

I’ve generated winform which will display a list of files in a folder and checked items generate xml file. Now, I wanted to generate a list of files and files in subfolder which should be listed in checkbox list whatever the files I checked will get generate a xml file with file path(as parent) and file name (child) separated as parent and child node, and un checked files also should generate xml file as separate node. Will u please modify my code below:

namespace GetDetails
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
//List listfiles = new List();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//string path;
//path = FolderBrowserDialog.Equals("");
//textBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath;
////path = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
//// folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog(); // NOT SURE ABOUT USING THIS!
//textBox1.Text = path;
}
private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a new instance of FolderBrowserDialog.
FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDlg = new FolderBrowserDialog();
// A new folder button will display in FolderBrowserDialog.
folderBrowserDlg.ShowNewFolderButton = true;
//Show FolderBrowserDialog
DialogResult dlgResult = folderBrowserDlg.ShowDialog();
if (dlgResult.Equals(DialogResult.OK))
{
//Show selected folder path in textbox1.
textBox1.Text = folderBrowserDlg.SelectedPath;
//Browsing start from root folder.
Environment.SpecialFolder rootFolder = folderBrowserDlg.RootFolder;
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
if (fbd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

if (System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(textBox1.Text).Length > 0)
{
foreach (string file in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(textBox1.Text))
{
//Add file in ListBox.
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(file));
}
}
else
{
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(String.Format("No files Found at location: { 0}", textBox1.Text));
}
}
/*
FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
if(fbd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
checkedListBox1.Items.Clear();
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(fbd.SelectedPath);
string[] dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(fbd.SelectedPath);
foreach(string file in files)
{
checkedListBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(file));
}
foreach (string dir in dirs)

{
str = (string)checkedListBox1.Items[i];
MessageBox.Show(str);
//xwriter.WriteElementString("SelectedItem", checkedListBox1.Items[i].ToString());

//System.IO.File.WriteAllText("GetDetails.xml", str);
XmlTextWriter xwriter = new XmlTextWriter("GetDetails.xml", Encoding.Unicode);
xwriter.WriteStartDocument();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("XMLFILE");
xwriter.WriteStartElement("file");
xwriter.WriteString(textBox1.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
foreach (var item in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems)

please refer this coding
private List DirSearch(string sDir)
{
    List files = new List();
    try
    {
        foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(sDir))
        {
            files.Add(f);
        }
        foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(sDir))
        {
            files.AddRange(DirSearch(d));
        }
    }
    catch (System.Exception excpt)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(excpt.Message);
    }

    return files;
}
