We can use a XML file to create above graph through C# code.

Code to display the graph :

DataSet dsUDG = new DataSet();
dsUDG.ReadXml("Services.xml");

DataRow []servOprs = dsUDG.Tables["ServiceOperation"].Select("ServiceName = 'Flooring'");

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("servOprs.udg");

sw.WriteLine("[l");

for(int i = 0;i < servOprs.Length;i++)
{
if(servOprs[i]["ParentServOprsID"].ToString() != "ROOT")
{
DataRow []temp = dsUDG.Tables["ServiceOperation"].Select("ServOprsID = '"+servOprs[i]["ParentServOprsID"].ToString()+"'");

if(i != 0)
{
sw.WriteLine("l("+va+"_"+servOprs[i]["OperationName"].ToString()+va+",n("+va+"node"+va+",[a("+va+"_GO"+va+","+va+"ellipse"+va+"),a("+va+"OBJECT"+va+","+va+servOprs[i]["OperationName"].ToString()+va+"),a("+va+"COLOR"+va+","+va+"lightred"+va+"),a("+va+"INFO"+va+","+va+va+")],");
