Loading dynamic XML files in to a tree view control

I am a newbie in programming and I'm trying to display metadata of some files using C#.Net.It is a web application intended to be hosted on our office intranet. I have been using Visual Studio 2017 with .NET framework version 4.6.1.

Its pretty easy to implement this functionality

You just need to setup data source for treeview , and load xaml from database
