Hello
I have created an XML File with an root and in it 12 "rows".
Now I wish to bind that Data to my combo box (design time) so when the user press on the combo box he would be able to see those 12 rows.
How do I do it?

retrieve those values from the XML files, and then add them to the combo box dynamically using Javascript.

I really don't know what im talking about today, tas been a bad day but yes. Thats how i would do it anyway lol

I'm not big on Java Script and I'm sure there is a way to do with visual stdio server side tools (and I hope an easy one)
I tried using an Data Set to bring the Data from the XML but still I got blocked

Still thanks for the replay

your using vb and asp's then? sorry i miss these things.

Assigning the value to the combo box should be simple, i though this was where you were having the problem. But it appears your having the problem retrieving the data from the XML files. Which unfortunatly i canot help you with as i lack experience with XML files for some unknown reason but there we go.

Still thanks for the fast replay and I hope that some (hmmm hmmmm) with some ASP and C# know how well help with this simple problem that I'm having (I hate to be a newbie but you have to be one for some time don't ya?)

I'm not even sure that I need a code, I think that I can connect the combo box (in my case its a array of combo box that we have the same value) to the XML file using some kind of bounding data, I'm still not sure I need to do some research (or for some one else to show me how

)
