XML Question

[Afforeogy]

I am interested on creating some drop down lists from XML files (a states list for one), and I am having trouble making it work. I was able to create a DataGrid from the intended XML file, but have not been able to bind it to a drop down.<BR><BR>Does anyone know where I could find an example of how to do this?<BR><BR>M-Post some code......I tried writing the drop down similar to the data bindings of a standard SQL connection. <BR><BR>I am sorry I don't have the current example of what tried, I deleted it before thinking to ask here.Ok? Did you specify the DataTextField and the DataValueField properties for the List Control?Ok. Problem solved. I was not my ASP.Net code, but a problem with the XML document<BR><BR>Here is the ASP.Net:<BR><BR> <Script Runat="Server"><BR> <BR> Sub Page_Load<BR> <BR> Dim dstStates As DataSet<BR> <BR> dstStates = New DataSet()<BR> dstStates.ReadXML(MapPath("../xml/states.xml"))<BR> <BR> ddlStates.DataSource = dstStates<BR> ddlStates.DataTextField = "Long"<BR> ddlStates.DataValueField = "Short"<BR> ddlStates.DataBind<BR> <BR> <BR> End Sub<BR> <BR> </Script><BR><BR>Here is a sample of the XML:<BR><BR><StateList><BR><BR> <State><BR> <Short><BR> AK<BR> </Short><BR> <Long><BR> Alaska<BR> </Long><BR> </State><BR><BR></StateList>
