try this code sample the code snippet uses a XMLTextReader object to read from an XML file. Each document element in the XML file is then read and added as an item to the ListBox. XmlTextReader Xreader=new XmlTextReader(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("toolbox.xml")); Xreader.WhitespaceHandling=WhitespaceHandling.None; XmlDocument Xdoc=new XmlDocument(); Xdoc.Load(Xreader); lst_company.Items.Add("LIST OF CONTROLS"); lst_company.Items.Add(" "); lst_company.Items.Add(" "); XmlNode Xnode=Xdoc.DocumentElement; AddText(Xnode,1); private void AddText(XmlNode Xnode, Int32 intlevel) { XmlNode Xnodeworking; String strindent = new string(' ', 2 * intlevel); string strvalue = (string)Xnode.Value; if (strvalue != null) { strvalue = " : " + strvalue; } if (Xnode.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) { XmlNamedNodeMap mapattributes = Xnode.Attributes; foreach (XmlNode xnodattribute in mapattributes) { lst_company.Items.Add(strindent + " " + xnodattribute.Name + ":" + xnodattribute.Value); lst_company.Items.Add(" "); } if (Xnode.HasChildNodes) { Xnodeworking = Xnode.FirstChild; while (Xnodeworking != null) { AddText(Xnodeworking, intlevel + 1); Xnodeworking = Xnodeworking.NextSibling; } } } more info -------- http://www.java2s.com/Code/CSharp/GUI-Windows-Form/FillXMLdatatoListBox.htm
