listbox and xml

[marvinklein]

say i have an xml file like this
<folders>
<path="C:\test" subfolders="false"/>
<path="C:\New Folder" subfolders="true"/>
</folders>

how do i auto fill a listbox with an item for every folder, where the name of the item is the path and the tag is the boolean value of the subfolders variable?

any ideas or some code??

thanks already...

There is no automatic way to do it but you just have to parse the xml file. Just use the SelectNodes method and "//path" to get all path nodes then loop through and add away.

can you explain the syntax of those two functions??

[Edneeis]

Actually its one function SelectNodes which accepts an xpath string as an argument and returns a NodeList of the results. The "//path" is the xpath string to use if the xml you posted is the entire structure of the file.
