try this code sample the code snippet uses a XMLTextReader object to read from an XML file. Each document element in the XML file is then read and added as an item to the ListBox. XmlTextReader Xreader=new XmlTextReader(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(toolbox.xml)); Xreader.WhitespaceHandling=WhitespaceHandling.None; XmlDocument Xdoc=new XmlDocument(); Xdoc.Load(Xreader); lst_company.Items.Add(LIST OF CONTROLS); lst_company.Items.Add( ); lst_company.Items.Add( ); XmlNode Xnode=Xdoc.DocumentElement; AddText(Xnode1); private void AddText(XmlNode Xnode Int32 intlevel) { XmlNode Xnodeworking; String strindent = new string(' ' 2 * intlevel); string strvalue = (string)Xnode.Value; if (strvalue != null) { strvalue =  :  + strvalue; } if (Xnode.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) { XmlNamedNodeMap mapattributes = Xnode.Attributes; foreach (XmlNode xnodattribute in mapattributes) { lst_company.Items.Add(strindent +   + xnodattribute.Name + : + xnodattribute.Value); lst_company.Items.Add( ); } if (Xnode.HasChildNodes) { Xnodeworking = Xnode.FirstChild; while (Xnodeworking != null) { AddText(Xnodeworking intlevel + 1); Xnodeworking = Xnodeworking.NextSibling; } } } more info -------- http://www.java2s.com/Code/CSharp/GUI-Windows-Form/FillXMLdatatoListBox.htm
