Populating Listbox from xml file

[rkeslar75]

Could anyone point me to a good example of populating a listbox with data from an xml file?

I'm working with a winform in vb.net.

Thanks

If the data structure fits you can load the Xml to a Dataset and set DataSource and DisplayMember:

Dim ds As New DataSet
ds.ReadXml("http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/external.php?type=rss2")
ListBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables("item")
ListBox1.DisplayMember = "title"

Else you can for example use XmlDocument to get nodes and add the items with the text:

Dim doc As New Xml.XmlDocument
doc.Load("http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/external.php?type=rss2")
For Each node As Xml.XmlNode In doc.SelectNodes("rss/channel/item/title")
    ListBox1.Items.Add(node.InnerText)
Next
