simple xml read

[daveOliver]

hello,

I have a very simple xml file

<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
- <!-- This Is A List of Menu items
  --> 
- <MyItems>
  <ITEM TITLE="one" VALUE="one" /> 
  <ITEM TITLE="two" VALUE="two" /> 
  </MyItems>

I would like to read each item within the file and add them to menu items,

I think in .net 2.0 to use the xmlReader Class,

could someone pelase suggest how to use that class in this situation, sorry im used to using the DOM vb6 object for this sort of thing.

Many Thanks.

Try the dataset object for read xml for you, I find it useful.

Protected Sub BindItems()
        'read xml into dataset
        Dim myDs As New DataSet
        myDs.ReadXml("C:\Test.xml")
        'bind data to listbox
        ListBox1.DisplayMember = "TITLE"
        ListBox1.ValueMember = "VALUE"
        ListBox1.DataSource = myDs.Tables(0)
    End Sub

Just to clarify that is vb. When you say you want to add them to menu items, what do you mean?
