Binding xml data to TreeView control?

Can anyone provide a code sample on how to bind xml data to a TreeView control. (Or any other control, but I want to be able to expand and collapse nodes)

The structure of the xml data is not known/not pre-defined, it varies a lot.

This should help. Once you bind to the tree view control, you wll have all of the functionality of that control available to you as long as the data structure you provide enforces some kind of heirarchy

Hi,

Just load dataset from XML file and bind with tree view control.

Thanks.

Like mentioned in the OP, we don't know what nodes, values, and attributes the xml data has. Both links assumes xml data format is known to the user.

Binding the xml data to the treeview is displaying just the node names, not the node values.

Being able to create notes dynamically is not our requirement. We already have all the data in xml format. I just want to bind it to the tree view control, and be able to expand, collapse, view all the nodes and values.

The article you mentioned creates nodes dynamically from a database table, looping through each row and each field.
