VB.NET: Hiding ID using XML [Unsolved]

[toytoy]

Say i have these Xml tag:

<place eat=”food centre”>
    <set id=”123”>
      <country state=”ABC”/> 
      <location>north</location>
    </set>
    <set>
        …
    </set>
</place>

Does anyone know to extract the ID attributes and use other numbers or words to represent that ID into the combobox....

and when sending that piece of "set data", the representation words or numbers will link to that actual ID and extract into textbox..

It is something like using the representation ID to display in the foreground...
and hiding the actual ID in the background of the form..

Thanks
